Life at Pugsley

A newly married couple buy an approximately 175 year-old farmhouse in Westchester County, NY, and work to make it home. Neither is exactly handy. But they want to do as much as possible themselves, and to keep as much character and old house charm as possible. Much to learn and do.

Profile

Sherry A Brennan: Zone 6b, New York, United States; I'm a writer and poet. Capel and I got married and bought Pugsley in summer 2011. We're not restoration or preservation experts and have pretty much zero previous experience with home repair. But we want to preserve the house and grounds for the future in a way that is consistent with its past. This means a lot of research and learning from experience, which is for us hard won and thus feels worth sharing.
