My house use to be in the centre of a farm so I guess it's a farm house, around it now is business. :@

No need, I can see cows from my bedroom window. We're surrounded in fields so after you get past our land (which use to be fields) there are just other random fields that sometimes have animals in.

1. haggis comes from sheep. not funny.
2. well, duh of course. everyone in scotland wears kilts, if they're not running about playing the bagpipes they're drinking whisky and eating haggis.
you said joking aside which is worrying.

Well if I was to go over to the west wing that backs onto the western courtyard there is a plaque saying 1872 so I guess then. It's a huge old school house but I do have 4 sisters so we need a big place.

I prefer the east wing of your house, the view over the country side is amazing!

Theres no winning

They're dirty if you don't clean them... lol.

As jake said there is nothing wrong with old houses - they are usually much bigger and the rooms are virtually soundproofed with the thickness of the walls!

Jordan:A
18-05-2009, 06:52 PM
I mean that in the little nooks and crannies there dust and all that, the bits where you cant get to to clean

my house is a terraced house and, around these parts, terraced houses were built for miners so god knows. Rough estimate would be 100 years old.

nothing is impossible, i'm sure they could be cleaned, i live in an old house; it's clean!

But you'd pull all the floorboards up and clean under your bath in a new house?:rolleyes:

yup......... that is generally the idea of cleaning. ofc we don't - it's still clean though if you can't see it :eusa_danc LOL

We were the first to build on our block, so umm... 16/17 years old?

My family owns a house from the 17th century in Switzerland though :O!

Immenseman

Not if you're clean people. I don't tend to shove things down the floorboards. Dust and stuff won't make a difference as when you hoover it'll go and the bits that are in the cracks will either be sucked up or so small it won't make a difference, like a new house.

hehe nice. Do you have wooden beams in virtually every room? And how about fireplaces in most rooms including upstairs :S? It's quite interesting to compare my house with another old house. Also our house is tilting more and more every few years. :P
