"I really wanted to breathe life into this beautiful old house. I wanted it to be safe for years to come, as well as being more sustainable and energy efficient.

"Looking back now, I feel in complete disbelief that we did that. Although it wasn’t our plan, I think everything worked out as it was supposed to and I have so much admiration, as well as respect for my husband."
