Easy From The Outside....16 Nov 2022 14:04
Currently renovating an old barn and it’s a surprisingly similar experience to holding COPL! Lovely old building, bought for a steal. I’m making reasonable progress, but not as quickly as initially planned. Why? Weather, planning, building regs, old building ‘issues’, change of plans, let down by suppliers etc etc. Knew it wouldn’t run smoothly, but no-one could have foreseen all the issues.
My favourite bit (not!) is when I get the inevitable ‘thought you’d have been finished by now’ comments from people who wouldn’t know the difference between a brick and a prick!! Most projects look easy from the outside, just like COPL....
I’ll get it done and I know it could very well elk be the best project I’ve ever done.
Funnily enough, just as development funds are getting tight (but not critically), a friend of mine approached me about buying in last weekend. He knows what I have and is tabling a very fair offer. Although it’s an amazing asset, I may well have bitten off more than I can chew. Giving his offer serious thought.....I’d rather own half a palace than all of a on unfinished project!
It’ll come good,one way or another - the asset is just too valuable now. Sound familiar?
Sorry for long post!!
