I am a homeowner of a Tongue and Groove Home which i inherited and is over 50 years old. I live with my 3 cats who keep me company and would be lost without. I generally have to get Tradies in to do the most Simple job, only as I do not have the proper tools etc or knowledge, therefore I dont have a lot of $$ to do extra things to house, I can only stick to basics, which drives me nuts, i used to love watching all the Diy shows thinking i could do them . LOL. Suprise Suprise. !! Love looking at all designs , but always know I cant DIY as home was built by Father and home does not have normal measurements , as you would buy in etc Bunnings. and home is on a slant!! And massive yard, to large for one person to maintain. But I keep battling on an am Thankful that i have a home I own and roof over my head. Im just a low maintence person, in all areas of my life. Yes sounds boring and Bland, but am Inspired by what all of you are creating & love it at. XX
