School houses are Paul and Tina’s pet projects

WHEN it comes to transforming older buildings, Paul and Tina Cutting have been down that road before — many times, but only in England.

Now with a spectacularly-crafted former school teachers’ house on the market in Kerry, carpenter-by-training Paul reckons he and Tina have done up, renovated, saved and adapted about 10 different houses which they have lived in for different lengths of time.

Paul’s regular day job is also still in the building line, so he has worked on dozens of examples of old housing stock.
