We would like to thank every single one of you that are here following this blog. We started this journey and there were a lot of people that had seen the Mooreland House on FaceBook when it went up for sale. We wanted to let people know that the house was going to be saved so we started a FaceBook page to get that information out. That page quickly climbed to over 2600 followers and about 1200 would see the daily posts there on FaceBook.
We decided to leave FaceBook and started a temporary website and then finally got this permanent website. Now we have just over 100 people that follow the blog and about 30 actually look at it when we post.
This post is just to thank those of you that are truly interested in what is happening to the Mooreland House. We would be doing the work whether or not we had this blog so it doesn’t really change anything for us. It doesn’t add that much work because we are taking pictures and trying to document the journey anyway. Sharing with you is just a natural extension of that.
So, thank you! Frank and Kerry.
Thank YOU for letting us come along for the ride!

You’re welcome! We try to make it as exciting as possible but taking down plaster is boring even for us actually doing it. =)

I love that you’re letting us tag along on your journey. It’s a dream of mine to restore a historic house, but I’m quickly learning that I have a LOT to learn. So thank you for teaching me along the way!

Your posts have been a bright spot this year, I too would love to restore houses, but I do not have the means or the ability to do so. But it is wonderful to be able to tag along for the journey. I had chanced across mooreland house in an atlas abscura post, and stumbled into your blog right after you had closed on the house, and I was excited to see that you were willing to let us watch the progress as you bring her back. I look forward to your posts, you are inspiring to us armchair renovators!

Frank & Kerry,
I have followed y’all from day one and moved to this site once it was up and running. Appreciate all the pictures and videos. I live in Lexington and have driven by Mooreland House for years and always remarked what a beautiful house if only someone would take care of it. Glad y’all are doing just that.

It’s an honor to follow along on the work you are doing to restore Miss Mooreland. Any job – big or small – I cheer you both on. After growing up in two huge beautiful homes in Tulsa, restoration and old homes are in my blood. With all that said, I am in this with you till the very end Frank and Kerry and will continue to be your sideline cheerleader!

We are nearing the end of our restoration project. It has been a mixture of joy and frustration. It is nice to look back and see what we’ve accomplished. I’m sure you are feeling the same way. I enjoy seeing what you are up to with every post. It has really been something to look forward to. Thank you for that gift.
