    I love seeing people restore old buildings and castles. they do not make buildings like they used to, the history, the architecture, nothing today really compares, we should be restoring and saving more than we do, its a shame they're too often left to rot.

    The build is quite impressive, and the bedrooms turned out nice for how little light they have, but I'm a little underwhelmed at the main floor's decor. There was so much more potential in those gorgeous spaces, I don't think the wall colours chosen and the furnishing do them justice.

Just hope if that happens he can sell this one as a profit and afford the other buildings.

    Delightfully creative. So many paradigms set aside. No wonder George found it so exciting. Deep pockets and fine management skills rule the “roost”. Hopefully the bats are managed properly so they haven’t caused health problems for their new neighbors. Synergy is expected and probably found in the current situation. Any follow up for viewers?

How truly glorious were they at the start? We’ll never know, because it’s not done. Today we seem to enjoy the visual of seeing their age instead. My OCD disagrees.🙃

    I think you should be able to provide a perminant relocation bat structure. Better for all.

    #1 ... have a glass closing door inside whatever you call those uprights and keep the fan. So when the weather is appropriate you can open the glass and turn on those fans and cool the whole house. #2 ... have the ability to turn those things at the top towards the sun and put reflective coating on the inside to provide light.

    Blow the tennis court, go for the glass floor on the veranda, and let more light into the bedrooms.
