On the social network, his 48-year-old man told his friends the story of how, completely unexpectedly, he became the owner of a long-lived estate.
“I never thought that would happen. Clearly, I thought it would be good to have. So doing nothing to get ready. But that for myself, from the beginning … no, I never planned. Why am I in trouble? Who cares about those worries?
But a year ago, as soon as the first wave of quarantine subsided, my friend and I took the kids out of the bath.
– Come on, a homestead near me for sale. Not bad for that. True old, a hand should be added, maybe even both. But the place is beautiful. Domina?
– I don’t think so. You know me. Not mine here. I love it so much on the finished. To be ready and lit. On the table would evaporate, the glass would be cooled.
– I know. I don’t persuade that either. I’m just saying – here on the way, we’ll spend just a few minutes.
– Strange you. After all, I say – I am not interested. So why should I go there?
– It’s just a look, not.
In a word, it was easier to agree. We turned around, got out, took a walk.
I am now the owner of this homestead. And the owner of that ruined wooden house built 100 years ago. There was also a barn nearby, but after this winter only the ruins of it remained – the old roof could not withstand the snow pressure.
I don’t know how that happened. Don’t ask. And I’m not here about all the destructive snow. I’m about how it happens that you suddenly have something you didn’t plan at all. And now we need to do something about it. Because what’s the point of having if only to have?
So here will be another challenge in my life. As if I were missing them, of course. But why not? I ran one event last week. A quote hung in the room where I came to change. For me, those quotes have always been such a dark matter when you’re copying something you can’t think of yourself, or you’re not sure you’re doing the right thing.
But this time the words hit: “The biggest challenge in life is to overcome your own (set) boundaries and go as far as you would have ever dreamed.” French painter Paul Gogen.
Behold. From today, every week I will tell you how I, a child of the city, manage to build, or rather, renovate an old house. And will it succeed? What I learn, what I learn, what to do next. And, of course, I’ll growl like I can’t get anywhere, and how complicated things are. Maybe it will encourage you to try it too. Because no one was born paying. Because everything can be learned. If you really want to, of course.
Because living in this way is just more interesting, “wrote M. Starkus.
