House - update
 

Ian and the team (me included:cool:) have been beavering away. Here are a few pix. This is going to be our bedroom, we have gone from this:

Note the frame for the Velux window. The white wall was inside a built in (or out??) wardrobe that we demolished as it was a waste of space.

to this, all windows in place, all wiring in, now plastered:

Here's Mike the spark, he's fixing the position of the lights in the den. Twig the plumber had put pipes in the way so it was a bit of a headache:

Sitting room fireplace. There was a hideous 1970s fireplace here with gas fire, completely disgusting. We took it out and drilled out 5 deep of bricks:rolleyes: Idea is to have a woodburner here. The flue has gone as it's too small - the Rayburn I won on ebay is going the other side:

Back of the house. The yellow rags are the old sitting room curtains, I couldn't stand the sight of them any more so I ripped them out. The work on the dormer extension is nearly there.

Home sweet home. We live in the caravan, as I type this I'm sat in bed by the large end window. The bike is out as I went and got a haircut today. The boarded bit is where the new front door will be.

Looking good Ed, they seem to be doing a top job.
Should add some good value to the house as well.

Re: House - update
 

Hope you either have a good stove in that caravan or are in the house before the winter sets in Ed.

Ed,
That looks a Mammoth task but I'm sure you'll be glad you did once you have your stamp on it!

Nice one...

The CV has blown air central heating, it's mains powered. I always have to open the windows as it gets too hot!!! Currently looking at another month in the CV, it's not uncomfortable, just a general lack of space. Amazing how you can do without so much 'stuff':D For example, we don't iron anything any more, as there is no space for an ironing board:D


Yes, roll on mid November:-D

Glad the project is moving along steadily Ed.
It's good to see that your enjoying it too.
Maybe a change of direction in your career?
After all, there's not many property developers who can handle the conveyency too :)
