about

For the time-being, we are just adding pictures here for our family and friends. As we get time, we will add the history of the property and the work we are doing to make the house self-sufficient.

RENOVATING THE HOUSE
The first rooms to be tackled by Team Renovator, are the Snug and Tom's room. They were cold and damp and we found the damp plus birds nests and their expired tenants
