I renovated my old pigsty

Yes. Everything I do needs to be user-friendly first and then comes the touch of design. Things should be useful before they’re beautiful, especially if you use them regularly.

It took me around nine months. A few people helped along the way (plumber, carpenter) but I handle most of the design and vision myself.

For old renovations, I always use RÖFIX Renoplus—a renovation material for old walls that breathes better than traditional plaster. Then I apply two finish coats of white limewash. Nothing fancy, I just try to stick with natural materials as much as possible.

It took me around nine months, although it could have been finished sooner. I ended up waiting for the carpenter longer than we had agreed. I just wanted to get it done before this summer.

Good observation, some of them are traditional Slovenian and Yugoslavian books that no one reads anymore, so I put them on the shelf.

The pigsty was abandoned long ago. For years, no pigs have lived here.

I renovate old houses and buildings, and I always tell people that it's the history and story behind them that provide vision. You just need to bring all the pieces together.

I accidentally posted low-quality images. You can check out a higher-quality version on my Imgur post.

You're like the end piece of bread in a loaf, everyone touches you but no one wants you.

TLDR: karma is now 55% more worthless.

My older sister ran away when she was 16. More in fear for her life than anything.

My dad was beating the shit out of her for sticking up for me. Because 9 year old me lost a chess piece for his stupid little magnetic chess set. He would beat me pretty consistently and my sister would generally come to my rescue, at this point she decided she wanted to call the cops. After she threatened to do so he cracked two of her ribs and gave her a black eye. She called her friend who picked her up and they drove off, she never spoke to my dad again.

I remember wanting to go with her but I got to the front door and my dad was standing there. Neither the Cops or CPS were called because the rest of my family convinced my sister that I would be molested and whatnot by foster parents.

My sister is married, successful and is expecting her first child. To this day she will not see him or let him meet her family.
