It looks huge! I almost had an orgasm when I saw the stairway.   It looks like it has high ceilings, and the structure is square and level, which is important, And that old cottage looks incredible, as does the size of the garden. Love it, Marty. You are a fortunate man. Will you do renovation yourself or hire someone?  

You always liked old wood.

It's behind schedule, apparently, but I'm being careful.  

Hey, Gary.   

[Headstall]

I managed to get my lawn tractor started... had to undo the gas filter and give a good blow on the gas line... I'm good at doing that.   Now my lawns are all mowed, except the paddock, and that should be it for the season.    I might do it again, but I like a little length (no, not that you pervs) left to the grass before the freeze happens.

Okay guys, it's taken me 3 days to get back to this, but here's some photographs stolen off the website that advertised the property for sale:

I'm currently awaiting further information that my solicitor has requested from the vendor's solicitor, before signing final contracts.

Thanks for sharing.  Good luck!  I can't wait to see the 'after' pics.  I love the staircase and landing.  And the stone cottage.  The garden will be lovely once it's replanted.  So party at your place  when the renovation is done?   

I'm sure I'll have a housewarming party once the renovations are finished...
Of course, they may ever get fully finished.

I love the staircase and landing too! Hopefully @Marty it's in good shape and can keep it.

The property looks lovely with a lot of potential. I'm sure you'll have fun (and a bit of sweat) renovating and putting it all up to your tastes

Some of the work may need me to hire someone much younger than me.
But if he sweats too much there's a wonderful walk in shower that he can share with me.

It is fairly big, isn't it? (The house, you perves!)  
Glad to see you all noticed the amazing staircase.

Spoiler

I'm looking forward to having a few orgasms myself on it, as well, Gary

The staircase, hallway and upstairs landing, and the high ceilings (most with amazing architraves) were part of what sold it to me; but most important was the gardens (and the stone cottage.
I'll do what I can myself, Gary, but I'll have to get help for a lot of it.

Obviously, it's in need of a fix-up, but the property looks lovely, Marty.   

Hi, by the way.   

Thanks, Page. And "Hi" back at you.

They should be honoured if they were invited to help.

Do you think I could actually charge them for the privilege?

Well they are skilled professionals, so it should be the other way around

Please dont take exemple on doing renovating work on your own on Gary. He'll advise you to build a scaffolding by topping a table with a chair top with a stool top with a ladder and to stand on one foot

I had a pizza at The Filling Station yesterday. White chocolate-infused ricotta cheese, lemon zest, blueberry pureé, citrus basil, and Graham cracker crumbs. Tasted like a blueberry cheesecake. It was ****ing delicious!   

(Their crusts are closer to a cracker than a bread.)
