People laughed when I bought a house built in 1918. Now everyone is shocked and jealous of the result!

This man wanted to buy a home in the middle of nowhere, as he was tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, so he wanted a quiet, measured life, so he bought an old house, which was located in the Moscow region. Surprisingly, but this dwelling was more like a barn than a dwelling, where you can live comfortably, in addition, it required huge investments for major repairs, as it was necessary to change not only the internal repairs, but also the external. People who learnt about this man’s decision mocked him for a long time, as such a ruined annex could only be bought by a stupid person who had nowhere to throw his hard earned money. But the man did not pay attention to them, believing that he would eventually surprise everyone by transforming the house. Of course, that this construction cost a penny, because there are few people who were willing to buy it, but still found one brave man who was ready for it.

In the house itself there was a lot of rubbish, as well as collapsing ceilings and walls, so there was a feeling that if the man made one wrong step, the house would immediately collapse. Except that after dismantling and rebuilding some parts of the house, it now looks like a modern cottage that many people would agree to come to during a holiday in the countryside.

In order to freshen up the facade, the man bought blue-coloured paint, with which he repainted all the walls and repaired the roof so that it would not leak when it rained. Moreover, the man wanted to make the windows larger and replace them with plastic ones, which are almost impervious to the cold from the street.


Of course, a lot of money had to be spent on repairing the walls to at least insulate them and bring them into a habitable condition. In the end, the man simply removed the old wallpaper, which literally began to rot and completely covered with mould. Now, however, they have been painted with water-resistant paint and also have coloured accents that give the house a more cheerful look.

The owner didn’t want to spend a lot of money on buying new furniture, so he decided that he would build everything with his own hands and he actually succeeded. People who watched him work really liked the combination of the darkest possible wood with clean white wallpaper, because they contrasted perfectly.

In addition, the man paid attention to the backyard, which was most likely forgotten even by the former tenants, who didn’t even bother to make a proper fence.

Of course, the ceiling was completely restored, in which, according to the man, the holes were already showing through. Without decorative elements also did not do without, so we can say that the walls became perfectly smooth and exotic, given what contrast of colours the owner added.

Unexpectedly, the man noticed a stone cellar, although at the time of the purchase of the house, it was not mentioned, but in any case, the new owner was very pleased with such a find. The owner decided that after restoration he would store wine there and coped with this work quite quickly.

The man did not forget about the ancient well, and since then there are cosy and comfortable benches next to it, as well as beds with beautiful flowers, which caused admiration among Internet users, because not everyone would have thought of such a thing.

The most interesting thing was that next to the house there is now a small sports ground, where you can go to train during good weather. It seems that this craftsman has golden hands, because not every builder would have thought of such amazing solutions.

Soon the man’s fans asked how much money the man had to spend on the complete restoration of the house, to which he replied that he was able to manage only a few thousand dollars, buying the necessary building materials, and the rest of the things he did with his own hands. He didn’t even have to hire labourers to help him. Now this housing is considered the truest masterpiece of art, and those who previously despised his work, now envy men, wanting to do something similar, because in such a house they would definitely agree to live.

It’s amazing that even with a little effort, you can achieve the desired result even if the house was practically a wreck. Did the owner do the right thing?
