While on leave, I started to rebuild an old house. Today I finished the restoration of an old chimney and this is how I looked like (ten days no shaving and lots of dirt from the chimney) . So, why not a selfie.

    Wonderful portrait and I agree with Sam - the scruffy look does become you. mwink.gif Will we get to see some photos of the completed chimney and house?

    Cool.

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    Of course Cavalier, below a few pictures since you asked for it.
    The first one is the oversight of part of the farm, the house on the right (red circle) is where the work is ongoing. The other shots are taken inside during the work.

    WOW :wow. I was expecting to see a bit of a remodel - this is an excavation and restoration! Beautiful farm to begin with and it appears that you are on your way to restoring a beautiful part of the whole. The fireplace is so grand - was this used for cooking at some point in its life?

    By the way, your photos are great as well- I was too busy being gobsmacked by the amount of work to fully appreciate the technicalities of the images!

    Thanks, the house was erected in 1616 and owned by a Duke who had the right to judge. The tower was the place where the tax collection and minor court cases were handled. The fireplace was indeed a cooking area. It is a typical Flemish fireplace for the seventeenth century. Both used for cooking and heating.

    You should set this as your avatar instead of that nerdy photo you have now. As one handyman to another, I bow to your ambition in taking on such a huge project. bowdown.gif

    What a fantastic property this is. Great shots too. thumb.gif

    The selfie is great but the remodel is amazing. I did one house top to bottom but not to that extent. Amazing.
