Full to the brim with boxes!
I didn't know we had this much stuff ;-)
I've taken a couple of days off to enjoy the benefit of all my hard work.

It was a two bed terrace three years ago...
Now it's a three bed with a bathroom and an en-suite, converted the loft, under-pinned the back half, basically gutted the mo-fo and started from scratch.
In the best tradition of insane projects it all started with stripping the wallpaper in the main bedroom...

Every project has to start somewhere ;-)
and it may as well start in the wrong place as the right place.
It's where we have ended up that counts.
I didn't compromise on anything, it was all about erasing the past and creating a wonderful home for my family and I.
And I must say that I'm rather pleased with the result.

are you a diy enthusiast?

I are a Plumber who is also a qualified Surveyor.
I can turn my hand to pretty much anything I guess.

interesting combo
I wish i could do that, I consider myself fairly competent at DIY but I know when to call a professional in.

My dad (now retired) used to run the Plumbing shop at the local tech college.
So I've been surrounded by construction all my life.
I've had my years in the wilderness and do what I do now because I enjoy it .
