Great to see a lot of pride in this thread.

Dumped you by text? That speaks volumes.

You’re doing some great work here. Love following the progress and admiring your skill.

i have about 8 old rose bushs and as people have said the perfume when in flower is intoxicating. they are somewhere between 60=70 years old. the house has been here for 130 years

Thanks!
Actually have some updates to add, been busy with work.

We have four that were here when we moved in 40 years ago. Apparently they where there well before that - talking twenty years+
They are terrific when in full bloom with their rich colour and perfume.
Easy to look after.

So impressive ASB, things you say need some work are at the level where I would say “Good to see that’s done”.

Lath and plaster, so messy but wow so much work to do this.

Feature wall

No expense on timber in the roof back then


Boards have to go

Old Hot water catchment to accelerate water pressure, hot water was originally pumped to the roof, catchment overflow had a pipe to the roof

I knew the original door way was there :wink:


Apparently newspaper was used as a filler in the 1960’s

Nearly all stripped
