ancient tony Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 Hi, I'm an old codger of 75 who really has run to nearly the end of my projects (I'd like to keep going but my wife says I have passed my sell by date). Of course there are things to do and some technical help for the newest stuff. In the past I have converted a flint barn (I did use a builder for the floor and steelwork), built extensions without help - including the drawings etc, renovated neglected buildings (largest was a 12 bed hotel in Austria - by the time I'd fitted en-suites I felt pretty good at doing them - and installed a second hand heating system that ran in wood chips, I collected it in four stages as it was a pile of stuff in a barn. Before it was naughty I have rewired houses, fitted gas central heating and plastic windows. In the last 23 years I have lived in Austria twice, France, Isle of Mann and several places in England. Some time I will be moving again to be free of a large garden - so that may give me an excuse for a final swan song of house doing up. After a flair-up of my emphysema, then with various arthritic joints I have swapped the sledge hammer for repairing clocks (but not for long I hope). 2
