She shares glimpses of the journey on her Instagram page where you’ll find pictures and videos of her doing manual work for the house, such as using a saw to cut firewood for the fireplace.
She said: “I feel very energised by the experience. I like learning about things in this way. I like doing things.”
And while the learning curve was steep, she never felt overwhelmed. The only thing that overwhelmed her, she admitted, was dealing with contractors and their tardiness.
