"The house was quite a dump when I bought it; it only had one small pine closet in the bedroom and a kitchen sink. There was basically nothing appealing about the property (and my mother was mortified when she viewed the house for the first time). The only things that appealed to me were the vision I had and the 'feel' of the house."

"In the 1960s, my grandfather bought a neighbouring farm which had a beautiful old house on it built in the 1800s. After acquiring the property, the original owners moved out and the house was empty/abandoned for about 50+ years. In 2019, a decision had to be made as to whether we demolish the derelict house or repair it because it became an eyesore. Restorations started in August of 2019."
