No regrets…’ says Steve Riseley, looking up at the castle – Castle Elvira in Italy’s Puglia region – that he now calls home. ‘Too much blood, sweat and tears, but no regrets.’It wasn’t always this way. Halfway through the four-year, multimillion-pound project to restore a castle that had been abandoned for more than a hundred years, vandalised, looted and generally destroyed, he started to wish he and his artist/film-maker husband Harvey B Brown had never seen the place. ‘There were times I wished I could have given up, but we couldn’t, because we were too far in,’ says Steve. Thanks to the couple’s tenacity,...

Engineers in a Chinese city have moved a bus terminal to a new location by pushing the entire five-storey building across the ground. To relocate the massive 30,000-tonne structure whole, workers put hundreds of hydraulic jacks under it and laid rolling tracks for it to slide along. The building is equivalent to four Eiffel Towers in weight and was moved in the space of 40 days to give way to bullet trains. (The Houxi Long Distance Bus Station in China was pushed forwards along railings to relocate) (Hundreds of hydraulic jacks would rise and move forwards, bringing the structure along) The Houxi Long Distance Bus Station is situated in the Jimei...

POV: buying a plot of land with the dream of building your forever home, then you return to find a $1.5 million house built on it. This is what actually happened to the vacant lot bought by Dr Daniel Kenigsberg. The doctor, who specializes in endocrinology, is taking the owner of the ‘cuckoo’ house to court. The home ended his long-term hopes of owning a house next door to his childhood home. Situated in New Haven, Connecticut, Kenigsberg bought the half-acre strip at 51 Sky Top Terrace back in 1991. His father bought the home nearby for just $5,000 in 1953 – so it had sentimental significance. His family even bought the lot directly from Eleazar Parmly Jr....

Hyper-empathetic? Get the tissues out, because a remote cottage dubbed the UK’s ‘loneliest’ home has been taken off the market for one heartbreaking reason. …nobody wanted to buy it (sob). The abandoned three-bedroom property, in Whernside, North Yorkshire, has no mains electricity or water and was originally listed for sale in summer 2022. Priced at £300,000, it was even lowered to £250,000 in May 2023 in an attempt to sell it, but to no avail. It’s fairly inaccessible considering it’s a 20-minute walk from the nearest parking spot. (The property was put up for sale for £300,000 .Image: Fisher Hopper /...
