derelict house

 in Gweedore.  There are grants availble for the owners to fix them up, don't know if this one is worth it.

    It's a big house. Worth trying.

    ...other than the roof, it looks solid.

    En los días de lluvia, el agua entra en su interior, por los grandes huecos que hay en su tejado.
    Besos.

    It'd be a brave person who took that task on.

    These days, getting the supplies might be the biggest issue..and of course, the cost, but I am sure it was a beauty. I've seen houses like this in the hill country of Texas and they just sit and wait and nobody comes.

    Sad to see the old ones left to disintegrate!

    The masonry still looks sound...gut out all the wood and start over again...then nice roof. Hope that's a big grant!

    It was a pity they let it degrade to that point! Maybe problems with the heirs...
    And here I say goodbye for a short break. Health and all the best to you, dear friend. A hug. ☘️

    A new roof would get it on the way back to usable. Then an interior gut job & you would have a good shell, Bill.

    With the roof gone, the rest of the structure is questionable. Would be easier to rebuild from the ground up. Too bad for the loss of a classic home.

    That one might be beyond saving.

    Lots of work and huge grants are needed for that one.

    Hi, Bill! I'm connecting with you from over at Victor's place. My husband enjoys photography, too. I'll be looking forward to getting your blog on a regular basis.
    Blessings!

    What a pity for this once great looking house!

    Probably better to tear it down and start over.

    Hopefully someone who can fix it up will buy it and it will look beautiful when finished.

    Oh well, if the foundation and wall as sturdy would be ok to fix it up.

    hopefully, the owner will repair the roof soon...

    The house looks doubtful to live up to renovation! Perhaps left

    A major project for sure. Pretty cool that there are grants available to rehabilitate old homes though.

    Certainly a lot of work to be done!

    Provavelmente terá que ser totalmente reconstruída!
    Mas os abandonos proporcionam sempre excelentes motivos fotográficos!
    Um grande abraço!

    I really like your photos Bill, a nice eye for the appeal of things others may walk past unnoticed. Ireland is on my "to visit" list. I have been to Dublin but that is not really what I want to see. I want the coast, the fields, the village pubs...
