My House -- Update

Edit Post
Colleague has gone and triangulated my house.
Remember my dream house? The one on the shore of Lago Maggiore that I discovered in a photo but didn't know the whereabouts of? Or whether or not it was for sale? Well, my colleague has found it. He triangulated it, he told me, by looking at the landmarks in the view across the lake and focusing them back on the point of the lake on this shore to where the house would most likely be. No one has ever triangulated anything for me before, so this is quite special. There's more... he's gone to see it, and even taken a photo of my pool by peeking over the fence. And even bigger news, the house is for sale.
Of course, having seen the house in reality we now know there may be a fault or two. Not enough yet to deter me from my dream however, of sitting on that terrace, drinking my prosecco, watching the sun set over the lake. Stay tuned...
