A couple of weeks ago a big box arrived.
I took photos of it, as I have trouble getting people to post large items to me, but it is doable, by several postal/courier services. This one was by Parcel Force.
Inside is this Antique AG & J Lines House, No. 37
It is in definite need of renovation and repair! It is missing it's top window which had obviously been cut out to install electrics. What a shame they didn't keep the window!

Inside it has been over-painted and over wallpapered.
Gosh what have I taken on?!
I decided to start with the top green room first.
Underneath some of the paint is glimpses of wallpaper.
The paper on the floor is interesting, but unfortunately it wasn't under all of the paint. What a shame.
This is all of it.
The flooring is incredibly rough!
As are the walls which looks extremely rough sawn timber.
Boy oh boy, what have I taken on?!
I also started removing some of the wallpaper in the blue room as it was loose.
More very rough saw timber underneath.
Down in the kitchen...
A vague marking on the rough wall
on which these papers were against. This is the only part that had this paper on it.
Another very rough wall.
I certainly have my work cut out for me! It is like they partly removed some wallpaper and just slapped either more paper over the top (as can be seen on the floor), or paint!
