Bathroom

Haven't got a bathroom yet but couldn't resist these accessories from Dunelm Mill :-)

House

Preservation and Restoration Done

All the damp, rot and worm are treated so most of the dirty work is behind us.  Rewiring and new central heating system are next on the list

I have mainly bare walls downstairs and bare floorboards upstairs and down but the whole place is fresher without the carpets and damp walls.

We're finishing the clean up over the next couple of days and getting furniture back into the right rooms.  It'll be a long time before it's finished but I'm very happy it's underway.

Where the cooker used to be.  Gone to the tip now so no more cakes for a while.

New skirting boards.

Under the Stairs

lots of damp under the stairs.

Builders are Here!

Stripping

Sparky is exhausted just watching!

One Down, Rest of House to Go!

This is the carpet, Lino and newspaper which Paul has removed from our bedroom.

The newspaper is 44 years old, dated 1969 so I guess that is the age of the carpet. Can't wait for the rest to go, the floorboards are better than that dusty old stuff.

Our Home

At last we own our home.  It's taken twice as long as expected but it is ours now.

Next challenge is renovating and getting it how we would like it.

A kitchen by Christmas maybe?

A New Chapter

Today we sold our house, subject to contract.

Last July we viewed this house and liked it

It sold in November and we were really disappointed.

A couple of weeks before we accepted an offer on our home, the above sale fell through and it became available again.  Maybe it was meant for us.

Looking forward to moving soon

and starting our renovation project !!!
