Home improvement
All the buildings were very dilapidated when we took over the place. The main house has been renovated with a new roof, tight walls and fresh colors on all walls both inside and out. The storehouse and three of the cabins have also been restored. The cabins serve as accommodation. The purchase and parts of the renovation were financed by a gift from Olav Thon.
