Given it a bit of thought and a quick google and I now know exactly which house it is.

Wow!

That is an object lesson in why it's dumb to live in a city when that's what your money can buy you in a much more pleasant environment.

The commute will be worth every minute and , trust me on this, you'll have a little smug moment to yourself every single time you come home and walk through the door.

Yep Mauldslie has some stuff, and mates have always gone on about Darvel. I am a happy pick-swinger and build trails in the winter so watch this space ๐Ÿ™‚ It'll be sad not to have Aberfoyle as a sort of 30 minute away local, but I'll visit as a rider and build more locally.

Superb! I mean, both primary and secondary schools, town centre, parks, duck ponds, classy restaurants and cafes are all within a 5 minute walk. It's bonkers.

Don't suppose you know any good builders/joiners perchy? Do you fish by any chance? ๐Ÿ™‚

You've got the wrong brother! My younger brother, a keen fisherman, who lives in Strathaven, is an excellent joiner (although he works in a quarry - long story) I'll ask him if he knows anyone local.

I'm only a quantity surveyor, what do I know about joinery? ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'll have a think and make a list. Any other trades?

I'd give these guys a go if you want quality interior finishes.
Not the cheapest mind. It's where my brother served his apprenticeship and my dad before him.

They did a lot of the internals when I was doing my conversion and needed someone to reinstate a victorian stair.

The plot thickens. Sellers have to deal with a financial issue before we know if and when we get it, gah.
