Well peeps, I have some news.........

 

Me and the missus have finally bought our Dream house..... and our offer was accepted today!!

 

It's in a beautiful location in the North of Scotland, near the coast.  The views are simply stunning.

 

It's a 16 Acre Plot with a couple of Houses and plenty of Barns and out houses for the horses and garage.  It's going to be a lot of work....... but really good fun doing it.

 

There is no gas supply at the moment, water comes from a well lol, however we've applied to the water board to get it connected.

 

There is no flooring, no kitchen(well there is a sink in a single unit and that's it), no radiators the bathroom is disgusting. And it's exactly the place we wanted to buy... something where we have a blank canvas to put our own stamp on it.

 

Our move date is 26th August..... So expect me to be offline unless i'm offshore for a while, because i'll have to get satellite internet installed!! we are 7Km from the nearest exchange hahahaha.

 

Anyways we are absolutely stoked about the offer acceptance and just wanted to share with the community!!

 

:D

Good luck in the renovations and putting your own stamp on it.It will be rewarding for both of you.

Congrats.  I'm in the process of renovating an old home for my wife and I.  It's a lot of fun taking an old house down to the studs and doing whatever you want with the blank slate.

Ah cool, yeah I did 12 yrs fixing helicopters and we did loads of NDT... Eddie Currents, Dye Penetrant, Fluorescents , etc.

 

Yeah I can imagine, there are alot of Gas Turbine engines that are used to power the drilling rigs, so that the Driller has the power to apply torque to pipe strings.
