Fix or Flee?

abigfatcanofworms Personal Reflection March 8, 2021 1 Minute

I really don't mean to denigrate
the general desire to renovate
but old houses suck
up every buck
in tiny problems that enervate.

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary. View all posts by abigfatcanofworms

Haha! No kidding I live in a 150-year-old dairy. There’s always something needing fixing!

So true but would a new house be quite so creatively satisfying?

  Ha ha. Nicely said. I actually love old houses. When we came back from Indonesia in the ’80s my parents chose a 100 year old weatherboard cottage. Eventually they renovated and extended it keeping the style pretty faithfully. I think as an Australian, coming across something with a longer history is a bit rare and exciting. But I am also familiar with the intricate kind of pains that renovating brings before you achieve that creative satisfaction of which you speak.

    I sympathise. Creativity is the finishing touch after all the expensive jobs get done that nobody notices.
