My dear friend Mia came to teach me how to facelift old windows. I do not know exactly when the house was built but around 1800 according to the wallpaper.
I bought some furniture, ecotoilet, waterpump, solarpanel for ventilation and a wonderful oven door.

Bought an old “soldiers cottage” from 1870s with some land. It looks like it is going to implode or rot when you turn your back….. but it does have good bones. I will renovate and plan the solar system.
An out house is first on the agenda
It is a start :)
