I love that the plasterer is doing it with his tie on

What a beautiful building and project. Sad that the world progressed so much that a building like this is no longer in use what it was originally build for. Renovated, repurposed and much loved in another way.

very nice... perhaps they will locate an old cheese press to put in one corner and a butter churn to place in another... a few milk pitchers here and there would add to the look as well ... well done and keep up the good work.

Greetings.
Its was delightful to see the transformation of the dairy building getting back to life in a form of a home sweet home, even if its just for a short vacation time.
Its aso smart taking buildings on demolishing state bkz u can save money for the property which is less than buying something new and save lots of the restoration bkz it does has to be done by the laws and agreements for buyers.

Anyways... Fantastic and im wondering seeing the next project.

Lets go. Yeeeeaaa

WONDERFUL PLACE 6 Project ❤ But with the old windows will be cold there 😢 no heating system … why? Floorheating will be the best to save the house against humidity
