Ab's olds home

[AB]

Unrelated post gents but I have been bragging to members for years about my olds house that the old man built back in the 70's using mud brick and recycled timber from the old Melbourne gaol and train network and I just wanted to show some of you some photos as I promised...

I'm really proud of the old man in building this as you don't see many of this type of architecture and I don't want this type of art lost in time.

Pretty full on stories I heard building this...oh&s non existent of course...lol

It's been modinized of course and rendered so imagine rough mud bricks and decour of a different era but I'm sure you can imagine the rustic ness.

I would love to build something like this myself one day like the old man did!!!

Anyways, only a couple of photos but man it's of those places that is "different"!!!

I dont know if I can sell this place mate when the unfortunate time comes. It just has too much history and means too much.

Anyways, things change of course but mind is set at this point.
