Bought a new house today ! it's a restored (old) farm where in the barn was now a little printing business. So big enough for my carlift and ....collection ?  

The barn is also already restored with windows,garage doors , concrete floor , isolation, bureau and central heating !  

So that's my place, my wife may rule the house !

it's about 7 miles from work , middle of green landscape. Only cows as neigbours , nono, not Oreo-cows !

There's even a prof tenniscourt on it.... we don't tennis.... so ??? somebody wants to exchange the court for a swimming pool ?

Room for 7 cars.... yepyep... and a BAR ofcourse ! The bureau will be for a C3VR red line...

Lucky to have find this one, seen yesterday-evening , bought this morning and already this afternoon other candidates... sorry for them, toooooo late ! The owner ( 67 ) stops his business and go's living in the south of France as his only family ,2 daughters , are already living in Bali ! The house is from 1830 !!! and i must admid , in those times the oak ceilings and roofs where a bit heavier than used today...  The fire place is open 2 sides , saloon and dinner table . Always usefull for my black book-accounting but i think that's something you US guys don't know...

Awesome Norbert!!  Historical homes are nice and built better.  My house (1952) is all torn up.  Got my fridge, stove & kitchen table in the living room right now.  We're laying tile down.....it's a  !  I can't cook nothin' and we still have grout to put in.  Enjoy that home!!

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!

My house is only 80 years old, and from the sounds of it, will fit in your fireplace.   Just please don't burn me down when I'm in there.

Really sounds like a great place.  We would love to see a few pictures.
