My friends, I am trying to acquire a home.
It's a creaky, currently slightly damp, structurally compromised, very historic mess of a wonderful blank canvas opportunity.
I have so many ideas for it - the classic restoration meets the technology. A chance to make an operating system that celebrates a characterful house!
I want to get stuck in and I'm keen to share the process.
It's not yet a done deal. Wish me luck 😄

Re: 👆

This month has been a ride.
Thanks for sending over your good luck vibes.
I've gone and done it!
Genuinely terrified and thrilled with excitement at the same time.

Uncovered some treasure already.
There's a Simpsons DVD hidden underneath a floorboard (now re-entombed), and an historic Percy Pig jelly sweet - which must have been out of the packet for years

Learning @freecad to try to map out the rooms. Started with the easy one - with the squarest walls. Channeling my inner @concretedog. I'll get there! 😄

@jtruk @freecad awesome! I somehow missed this thread! Near your old place?

@concretedog Much closer to town! Easily walkable. You're very welcome to visit... I hope to have heating soon 😄

There have been some developments on the house renovation. Exciting stuff - discoveries and piecing together the history - but I want to properly document it.
Would you folks be interested in videos?
Please subscribe if so, thank you, please 😄

@jtruk That's probably old enough to be the type made of meat.
