Thanks for the interest S'man and David, I'll take some photo's for you guys
Historical perspective is all relative...
Declaration of Independence was signed around the time this house was built over 250 years ago
My previous house was a lot older as it was built when Henry VIII was King 475 years ago
An inn/pub in the nearby town of Stow-on-the-Wold had been a successful business for over 1000 years
Then stuff get crazy old as there is a stone circle in a neighbouring village that was built over 5000 years ago and it's still there today
All the stuff I've helped create during my working life only has a useable life of a few races or one race season at the most ie months not even a full year
Might sound odd but I get a huge amount of satisfaction knowing what we're creating with this build using our own hands should have a useable life of at least a 100 years
