Sounds like a huge amount of hard work that will leave you with an incredible house at the end of it all. If you've got the skills it can be so rewarding to know that YOU did that, and YOU did that when you look around your home. I would love to live in an old restored farmhouse but married too much of a city boy.

I hope it gives you lots of hope when you wander around it, and that you get to see inside really soon.
