Is BYC Experiencing Cabin Fever?

Pics
Phew that took a while to read through!!! I've got up peoples noses once or twice and only lightly growled back once - I tend to just walk away from 'heated' threads. Sometimes I have to sit on my hands to stop myself posting though when people are being ridiculous and over reacting - particularly when it is a respected member being attacked - makes me cross!

I have never ending washing here too - we are 5 - if I miss even one day it's a nightmare! Of course boring cleaning (as little as I can get away with lol!). Tend to only watch one or 2 TV shows after I get the little one in bed. I also crochet and very rarely sew (lack of time more than anything!)! We are also doing major renovations in our old stone barn house and making a holiday cottage next door so even in the rain we are often in there in the day or sorting stuff in here. Never enough hours in the day!
 
IM, did you ever see The Cowboys with John Wayne in it? Wonderful movie.

Yes it is! I like a lot of his movies.

Bruce Dern once did an interview and said little old ladies were running into him at the grocery store because he killed John Wayne in that movie :gig

Have you ever seen The Quiet Man with Maureen O'Hara? Very good too. I like the movies they did together most.
 
Hi @PouleChick :frow Have you ever shared pictures of your stone barn house? I'd love to see it sometime. Is the holiday cottage for people to rent for vacations?
Hi, no I dont' think I have so you here go! This is the northern end where we live - when we are done we'll have 5 bedrooms and one big long living space:

This is the middle section (and oldest - according to research this bit could be from as early as in the 1600s or as late as 1700's with the stone steps and stone sink inside) - this is where we are doing the first holiday rental (yes to rent out for tourists):

This is the 'big barn' at the other end - we want to eventually renovate this too into another rental - should be able to get 4 beds - it is pretty huge (hard to tell by the pics - I come up to not much over the horizontal bit of wood on the door to try to give scale):

Some of the scale of renovations - this is the 'door' we have knocked through between the kitchen and bathroom in the holiday rental - the wall is 60cm (about 2ft) thick!

From what I've read, The Cowboys was pretty controversial at the time because it was one of the very few movies where Wayne was killed. Bruce Dern was a really good bad guy!

Yes, I've seen The Quiet Man. O'Hara and Wayne were a good pair in any of their movies!

What a great looking place you have! Must be a lot of work, but very rewarding to see it all come together.
