Now it's not every day that someone just gives you a house now is it???? Well a little while ago a close family friend did just this, gave Brad and I a great old shack....
As it turns out it was one of the original homesteads off the farm next door. It was moved to town in the 60's.... We were so thrilled to be given this house and couldn't wait to get it out to 'Darling Downs'... So while Connie, Millie and I watched Brad started to prep the house...
Following strict instructions from the house removal company he got to work cutting the house in half with a chainsaw...... Yes that's right, a chainsaw, I nearly fainted when they told him to do it this way but hey who am I too talk they're the professionals after all, right????
So now the house sits in 2 awaiting the big truck to haul it out to our farm... Fingers crossed the whole process goes well.... What's been going on in your world of late??

How exciting! What will you do with your current house or will you combine the two?
ReplyDeleteHey its Hayley... i cant believe that you guys cut it in half with a chainsaw.... funny & scary. Good on yas.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! A homestead sounds so romantic. How will you stick it back together?
ReplyDeleteSuch exciting things happening at your farm. I cant wait to see how it all turns out.
ReplyDeleteHow crazy - chainsawing a house !!!

Maybe a craft retreat????
How exciting and certainly not your average gift...
I love that style of house.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting! Look forward to seeing how it all progresses :-)
ReplyDeleteNo cutting houses in half going on here Jodie :)
ReplyDeleteit sounds exciting home the move goes well for you. You have reminded me of the delight and amazement we'd feel as kids if we got to be travelling on the road behind one half of a house on a truck.
Hey, How much Fun is that!! I look forward to seeing the progress!!
ReplyDeleteohhhh how exciting!!!!
ReplyDeletekeep us posted!!!
Wow! I didn't think to cut a house in half to move it. Amazing! Curious to see how it is put back together.
ReplyDeleteA chain saw?! CRAZY! I guess it makes sense!! That's awesome that you'll be able to have a great new homestead! Lots of renos?
ReplyDeletewow I would love an extra house for the visitors...........sheep work here this weekend............have fun..........

ReplyDeleteGOsh... nothing that hexciting has been happening over our side of town.... cant wait to see the new cottage on darling downs.
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic for a "shack". Will this be the visitors retreat or maybe a sewing retreat room.
ReplyDeleteI've only got 4 sleeps to go 'til I become a MRS again. All exciting. To top things off, work has given me 6 weeks notice to put a full-time girl on, so now I'm off to see solicitors. GREAT! That's all I need now....
Oh wow - how exciting.
ReplyDeleteIs it going to be a guest house or maybe a little workers cottage? Or you could hire it out as a B and B - ok - shutting up now and going back into my little whole, LOL. Looking forward to the removal - we are heading up your way in a few weeks on our move to QLD - wonder if we pass it on the road?
Ohmygosh!!! I had no idea you could do that -- that's amazing!!!
