I have two mates who spent the last couple of years working in the UK. The now have their houses built from start to finish. Also family members over there as well.

I work for good folks an earn good money so that makes it a lot easier to do with a smile on me face tbh, but believe me there’s been times in me life iv had very little motivation or will to work, once I figured out to work to live an not live to work an being happy was just as important as being rich, then work seemed a lot simpler an easier to swallow?

I don't like neighbours but I do like isolation. That's very good. You could do something with the bog. Cut turf or turn it into a flighting pond. The only down side it's not close to the sea. But Westport not to far away. How much does the house need. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atb j Yeah, that's a deposit over here ! flight pond would be good, I think it's been part cut for the peat already Im almost 3 hrs from the sea here, so still closer, and your roads are not gridlocked like ours, with two tolls to pay every time I go fishing. I would have thought plenty of good ports within 3hrs from there. In honesty it's a full refurb job judging by the pics, might have 4 good walls and that's about it. No services, but all out on the road. I've done worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jetro 5,349 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 That's a lot of traveling for fishing. I'm not a 5 min walk from the sea. The turf is a very handy thing to have. By the time it's all cut out flood it and there's your pond. A win win. As long as the main walls and foundations are good that's a good bit. Did you check further west.
