Six months after leaving Southeast London, Gavin and Nicole look back on the progress made at their derelict Welsh farmhouse and across the surrounding 13.5 acres. Overgrown land has been cleared, major repairs tackled, and key decisions made to modernize the house without losing its character. Storms and flooding bring fresh challenges, but family support, life on the land, and steady hands-on work keep the renovation moving forward. As the year closes, this old house feels less like a fixer upper and more like a long-term home with a future worth building.
