Sounds amazing! We have an old house, it was just rubbish when we got here and after lots of hard and I mean hard work we have the land looking good. The house is next and it will be a labour of love the countryside is awesome and I think living out of town is just the best!
At 12.30 today we will be looking at the inside of Storehaven. Yay.
We looked at the outside, all around the yard, on Monday. One of the sheds would be good for firewood and nothing more, another, you would *very carefully* stack things in there that you weren't going to need in a hurry, and the other was closed and locked, but is better I think (fits two cars in it maybe). There is a back "paddock" (not overly huge, but a reasonable size, the whole block is about 5500m2), but it's full of three corner jack weed! (If you have never seen these devil things, they are far FAR worse than bindis.... It doesn't matter what side they sit on, there is always a dirty great big sharp thorn pointing directly upwards! Ready to stick in the bottom of all unsuspecting bare feet, shoes, tyres, and even hard pram wheels. They are truly awful things!). But, the area that would be most used as a back yard, has beautifully kept grass (looks three corner jack-free!)! There is even the original water tank tower (no water tank anymore), outdoor loo, and some nice plants. *Heaps* of space for a big garage for all our toys (which would be further back than this 'nice' area), vege patches, a cubby house, shaded 'entertaining' area, and just kicking a ball around! Even space for a pool if we wanted... And there is a couple of good climbing trees!
The roofline (and what a roofline it has!) all looks straight, if not in need of new guttering, so that is positive.
I'm guessing that my post later on after the inside inspection will be likely one of the following:
1. (And the most unlikely) OMG! Totally fabulous, and ready to move straight in!
2. Better get ready to do some HARD work (amongst re-wiring, sanding and painting, and building cupboards/wardrobes to suit).
3. EXTRA amounts of hard work that I was hoping we wouldn't have to do! (like foundation work or termites). A costly exercise, worth it in the end, but, oh dear in the mean time...
4. (The one I'm hoping for the LEAST!) OMG! Waaaaay beyond us! Totally heartbroken!
