I thought you bought it as it was. In fact I did think you must be almost a millionaire, but you did a lot of work to make it look so good.

When Graham bought the house in Kennethmont it was also a derelict but he got people to do the house up. It also had so much history and we had photo's to prove it ;D

It would be interesting if you followed suit even though you've moved.

I love it when you know the history of old houses
