Everyone; thank you, we hope its all that when we can get in there!

Meow; I'm hoping for some wonderful gardens too. We don't have water restrictions to contend with, and there is two sources of water (lake and rain). Not sure if I will get much in the way of shed space for gardening, might have to wortk on building a greenhouse from scratch.... But, if we got the other house as well for the inlaws, there are, I think, already some vege beds laid out, and chook yards, etc. I am definitely thinking of the cellar for food storage, would love to do my own pickling and preserving too, we'll see what we can do when we get in to have a look. I would hope we could have our own chickens though.

We (the Man and I) always see the potential in things, and how it could be restored. I have seen from the few photos that the kitchen sink is very small (remember the old square and tiny sinks) with one draining board, but that doesn't bother me. I have lived with these sinks before, and whatever doesn't fit in to be washed certainly fits into the laundry trough! The listing also says it has a wood burning stove in the kitchen! I'm pretty easy when it comes to how I can live, so am not too worried about living in the midst of renovations. My brother and I did it with my Mum over a number of years (she didn't have an oven or real stove for two years, cooked on a companion camp stove!). As long as there is still something usable!

The whole place has so much potential for us. There is no undercover area outside, so we can do our own thing there, and inthe style of tue house. It's only a fairly short drive on the dirt to the house from the highway, so any nice car or bike won't get too badly blasted, too quickly. And in the time that we hung around there the other day having a look from the road and driving around, not one other vehicle was on the same road too.
