it's been said that we are the sum of
0:02
our choices while things work out for
0:04
some of us others are less fortunate in
0:07
any case both the negative and positive
0:09
aspects of our personalities shape who
0:11
we become because words are cheap make
0:14
your actions count don't worry if you're
0:17
still unsure of who you are or what you
0:19
want to be you'll figure it out
0:21
eventually small decisions may appear
0:24
insignificant at the time but they can
0:26
have significant and long-term
0:27
consequences Claire seggren and call
0:30
Hunter are a young couple who are in
0:32
love when Claire decided to take a year
0:34
out from medical school they spent the
0:37
entire year together they decided to buy
0:39
a house at an auction but not before
0:41
doing some research and visiting the
0:43
properties finally the two came to a
0:46
decision
0:47
call then proceeded to make an offer on
0:49
their desired property he won the
0:51
auction and was given a 120 year old
0:53
manner instead despite the fact that
0:56
neither of them was Scottish they were
0:57
looking to buy an apartment in Polish
0:59
Shields Glasgow they realized there
1:02
would be a lot of work to do because the
1:04
property had been damaged by fire they
1:06
estimated that it would take six months
1:08
to fix it but it was well worth the wait
1:11
Claire went home for a visit When Calls
1:14
stopped by the auction house he made an
1:16
offer on the home and was overjoyed when
1:18
he was successful in his bid of PS 30
1:21
000 however when he realized that the
1:23
house in which he had bid was being sold
1:25
in pre-lots his Elation changed to panic
1:28
he has another property it turns out Cal
1:31
realized he'd made a mistake when he
1:33
heard all sales are final
1:35
he took a deep breath and dialed his
1:37
girlfriend's number who was in Canada
1:39
visiting her family
1:40
imagine simply telling your lover that
1:43
you paid 39 400 for a house you didn't
1:46
want
1:47
surprisingly she did not become enraged
1:50
they opted to refurbish the house they
1:52
bought because the amount of money they
1:54
had to spend on a property was not
1:56
excessive it wouldn't be an issue she
1:58
assured him Kyle's father was right next
2:01
to her when she called and he'd agreed
2:03
with her what's the worst that might
2:05
happen he said they were about to
2:08
discover just what their new property
2:09
had in store for them Cal discovered the
2:12
Manor's name at the auction James Wood
2:14
Villa it was described as necessitating
2:17
a complete upgrade throughout he came
2:19
across a Google Street View photograph
2:21
from 2010 despite the fact that the
2:24
location was no longer in its prime
2:26
these two were up for a challenge Claire
2:29
was Canadian and Cal was English so they
2:32
had to look up dunoon on the map to
2:34
figure out where their new home was they
2:36
were relieved to learn that Glasgow was
2:37
not far away
2:39
Claire was intending to go to medical
2:40
school at Glasgow University so this was
2:43
excellent for them
2:45
the young couple was feeling pretty
2:47
upbeat about the situation both of them
2:49
were cautiously excited about their new
2:51
initiative cow went to dunoon to inspect
2:54
the property they had purchased at the
2:55
auction unfortunately as soon as they
2:58
arrived in the region they discovered
3:00
that the photograph was very much out of
3:02
date
3:03
the roof had gaping holes it was clear
3:05
that no one had lived in the Mansion for
3:07
the past 20 years as most of the Timber
3:10
had rotted away aside from that they
3:12
understood they'd have to replace the
3:14
plumbing and electrics their new
3:16
derelict house was not supposed to be as
3:19
unsafe in rundown as it turned out to be
3:21
what's more is that leaning decaying
3:24
front wall was slanted in such a way
3:26
that it was hidden indicating serious
3:28
structural issues the house was sinking
3:31
into the ground they found later there
3:33
was no question that this location would
3:35
be difficult despite the difficulties
3:37
Cal and Claire weren't going to give up
3:40
they understood they'd have to get
3:42
creative in order to fund this business
3:44
Not only would they have to perform the
3:46
repairs themselves but they would also
3:48
have to change their way of life
3:50
in addition to completing all the work
3:52
they would have to quit paying rent or
3:54
mortgage if they wanted to achieve this
3:56
they had to give it everything they had
3:58
that's exactly what they did they both
4:01
rolled up their sleeves and got to work
4:04
then they rented a caravan and parked it
4:06
in the garden so they had somewhere to
4:08
live while finishing the project
4:10
despite the fact that it had no power in
4:12
running water they were able to get by
4:14
using candles and asking their neighbors
4:17
for permission to use their oven and
4:18
shower
4:19
these two young people characterized
4:22
themselves as a pair that wanted to live
4:24
life on the edge it appears that they
4:26
have exactly what they desire
4:28
they were more than willing to take a
4:30
chance on the hand in front of them
4:31
after all fate was the one who brought
4:34
them together
4:35
the pair decided to start a blog and an
4:37
Instagram feed to document their
4:39
renovation process it was a challenging
4:42
restoration which added to the couple's
4:44
enjoyment of documenting their Adventure
4:46
as a joke about what have we done
4:49
the two chose the clever title what have
4:51
we the new
4:53
this is a clever take on how the project
4:55
began and where their land was located
4:58
isn't that a clever wordplay since the
5:00
beginning of the project in November
5:02
2018 the two of them have run into a
5:04
number of issues finding a new problem
5:07
appears to be a regular occurrence call
5:09
continued when the work van became bog
5:13
in the mud the two of them decided to
5:15
build a driveway themselves they had to
5:17
dig it up to locate the water supply
5:18
which proved to be more difficult than
5:21
they had anticipated
5:22
the Quest for a cable that would allow
5:24
them to power the grid took five months
5:26
they had one more issue that would Peak
5:29
the interest of Rider Joseph Heller the
5:31
Manor's roof which now has enough holes
5:34
to pass for Swiss cheese needed to be
5:36
replaced however they were unaware that
5:39
there was a problem
5:40
the walls did not appear to be sturdy
5:43
enough to sustain a new roof since they
5:45
were just too unstable as a result they
5:47
had to repair the walls but because
5:49
there is no roof the rain will simply
5:51
fall down and ruin them once more
5:53
Kyle described the issue as a huge
5:55
catch-2-2 jigsaw puzzle
5:58
we've been overwhelmed by the kindness
6:00
of the people of denune said calendar
6:02
although some felt they were crazy for
6:04
doing this the residents have always
6:06
been encouraging and supportive what a
6:08
great Community surrounds them Claire
6:11
and cow created a GoFundMe page to raise
6:13
funds for their project which anybody
6:15
may donate to including family friends
6:18
and strangers many others have contacted
6:21
Claire and Cal through their site their
6:24
followers were constantly there for
6:25
these two offering technical guidance
6:28
and pointing them in the right direction
6:29
for materials if that wasn't enough the
6:32
outgoing pair met a lot of people who
6:34
helped them with their refurbishment
6:36
even friends show up every day to assist
6:38
in any way they can
6:40
Cal and Claire intended to make this
6:42
restoration project as ecologically
6:44
friendly as possible in addition to the
6:47
realistic Financial considerations in
6:49
that regard they have chosen to use
6:51
reused building materials they are eager
6:54
to recycle wood flooring kitchen
6:56
cabinets and anything else you can think
6:59
of whatever they can get their hands on
7:01
when they lay down their tools they both
7:04
expected the property to be totally
7:06
refurbished however they also intend to
7:09
convert it into three separate
7:10
Apartments they intend to sell two of
7:13
them use the proceeds to pay off their
7:15
debts and then live in the remaining
7:17
apartment
7:18
even though it wasn't what they hadn't
7:20
planned they'd realized that life was
7:22
one huge Adventure
7:24
that's how they dealt with it and we're
7:26
glad to hear that they didn't want to
7:28
stay in despair when they could still
7:30
turn things around
7:31
we're not sure we'd be able to do what
7:33
these two young adults accomplished and
7:35
we're sure many others feel the same way
7:37
Kyle and Claire take on everything in
7:40
life with a smile and a determined mind
7:43
like anything else in life one must
7:45
consider the risks and benefits the
7:48
Project's hazards were immediately clear
7:50
from the start who knows maybe they lost
7:53
their hard-earned money when they bought
7:54
it furthermore the refurbishment may
7:57
cause them to lose even more it was a
8:00
huge risk however they believed that the
8:03
positives exceeded the negatives in this
8:04
scenario they would not only learn a lot
8:07
along the way but they would also grow
8:09
closer as a pair not only that but
8:12
they'd be able to call themselves
8:13
homeowners while still in their 20s they
8:16
wouldn't even have to pay their mortgage
8:18
it would be a tremendous achievement
8:20
we'll just keep our fingers crossed for
8:22
them while the work is still going on
8:24
which will take a long time
8:26
we hope they never lose hope and
8:28
persevere in dealing with their
8:30
fortunate accident but to be honest
8:32
we're not too concerned about these two
8:34
they appear to know exactly what they
8:37
want and nothing seems to be able to
8:39
stop them when they are focused
8:41
Claire and Cal were finally able to get
8:43
electricity on their property in early
8:45
March it was an absolutely remarkable
8:47
feat even expert electricians sometimes
8:51
have trouble with old houses that
8:52
haven't been utilized in a long time
8:54
however it was a significant step
8:56
forwards for the two of them we're not
8:59
just talking about how far they've
9:00
gotten with the house though more than
9:02
that the fact that they had electricity
9:04
in their home meant a lot to them
9:07
a friend was astounded to see that they
9:09
had already installed and tested power
9:11
in the house they still have a long way
9:13
to go but they've come a long way we
9:16
wish them all the best as they work on
9:18
the restoration of janewood villa if
9:21
Claire and cow's unexpected and
9:22
successful story achieves anything we
9:25
hope it inspires and drives everyone to
9:27
believe that everything is possible even
9:30
if they don't feel they can even though
9:32
it starts off as a mistake it could end
9:34
up being the most incredible thing
9:36
you've ever done
