Thanks to everyone for your kind words, advice and encouragement through what has been a stressful couple of weeks.
Soon, the hard work will really begin -- here's a few more photos taken recently, which I think show not only the incredible amount of work needed here but also a hint of what she might be at the end of the process.
Here we go...
Phew! It's going to be stunning, and I for one am glad to be watching! You'll do brilliantly!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both. Such lovely fretwork and french doors. Such not so lovely lino which I imagine is layers thick and an interesting assortment of wall colours! We expect a room by room walk through you know. mel x
ReplyDeleteYeah congratulations it must be a huge relief now that everything has gone through and it's your home. It's good to have lots of before photos too even if they make you cringe at all the work ahead of you because when it's done you'll be able to look back and see how much work you've done. We took lots all except for the bathroom room,I wish we had of before it was demolished by my hubby and brother. Your front door is exactly like ours:) I look forward to seeing your progress. Enjoy setting up and being in your home in time for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOK, now for the fun to begin! I (along with the old post office) am so excited that someone is finally going to throw a lot of love her way. New beginnings .... Can't wait to see what you have planned. xx
ReplyDeletePhew and Happy move in day - Yeah!
ReplyDeleteThe potential is incredible and lots of scope for putting your own mark on it too. It will be a labour of love and I wish you well and look forward to the updates. In time for Christmas too - that house knew it wanted you right from the word go.
Take care

Lol, I had that exact same lino through my living room! It is all gone now. Make sure to wear masks when ripping up any old places, all sorts of gross stuff is in the air when you start clearing, and maybe asbestos around (just be careful).. good luck, I am glad the settlement is finished and take your time with the work and enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Can't wait to watch the transformation!
ReplyDeleteThose doors are just gorgeous!!!! Can't wait to see your house being transformed!
ReplyDeleteYay! Looks amazing, I can just imagine how spectacular you guys will make it look.. I don't have much of an eye for renovating/decorating, but can appreciate the work of others who do! So happy for y'all that you're not homeless for Christmas, hope it's grand and you're over the bugs. xxx
ReplyDeleteCongrats on settlement,let the hard work begin!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, she looks nice and solid and soooo full of potential.
ReplyDeleteWait a year, to see what the weather does to various rooms, before you decide on any major changes, I once lived in a farm house that had NO SHADE and the kitchen and toddlers bedroom were on the West side.....just crazy.
Hope you will have fun working on getting her beautiful and family friendly.
Those kind of people are nightmares so I'm pleased it has all gone through finally before Christmas. Just think what it will look like this time next year. All the best. Regards Kathy A, Brisbane
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! I am so glad to hear everything is sorted and that you can begin work on the houses and the land. I wish you a wonderful holiday season and cannot wait to see the updates next year on how the progress is going! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I dropped by originally from DTE and have just caught up. "Interesting" house purchases are not good the first time around but now you own the house you can make your dreams become reality. Hoping you are all over the nasty bug and enjoy your first Christmas in your new home :D!
