430765 2006-02-16 04:50:00 Sweet.. you gotta coal range... is it still in good working order?

The 6th photo (side on view of house with back lawn showing) the building/leanto at the back.. wash house or coal shed?

Just thought of something, you gonna be techie-ing in Invers? If so let me know, I have stepmum and half brothers (not to mention some of uncles/aunts down there. If you pass me the details when you are ready I will pass onto them.
I know one of the half brothers highly into comps

430766 2006-02-16 04:53:00 Get full building report tonight. Its passed is all I know.
Husbands a plumber anyway.
And soon to be renovator and gardener.....

Yes, the last owner also painted a wall in the lounge purple. Hmmm.
A friend said if we pay his airfare and feed him and provide beer, he will paint the whole thing for us....

I'm thinking white outside. I like neutral.

And yes, coal range thing works apparently. Has a normal oven too so I have plenty of time for practice.

Yes back rooms are laundry, what used to be a loo with old copper cistern still, and a shed. Will probably make that a woodshed.

I intend to try keeping my business down there....

430768 2006-02-16 05:07:00 I'm thinking white outside. I like neutral.Ohh! Check out the heritage selections that many of the paint companies offer for inspiration.

Example (www.resene.co.nz)

I suspect the previous owner attempted this with the exterior, but didn't quite hit the nail on the head ...

430769 2006-02-16 05:11:00 The colour won't show when it's covered with snow. That's a nice fire surround. Graham L (2)
430770 2006-02-16 05:28:00 I have downloaded tons of pics of other old places, lots of nice ideas. The best do seem to be white or something very pale with a dark trim - NOT all the way round the windows though.

And snow - what snow? Thick frost you mean... :thumbs:
