[Roy]

It will be worth all the hard work when it's done mate

 

[Martin]

me n my mate have just finished our 3rd property. they seem to take forever, especially when you get onto the decorating. but its worth it when they are finished.
Just need the bloody things to sell now lol

Good luck with it all

 

[Paul]

Good luck with it fella. I am on with something similar at the moment, to be honest it is as 'uniquely' styled as yours so I am happily moved in. You doing most if the work yourself then!? I am trying to where possible.

Best of luck with it!

OMG what a mission, it's going to be a big enough project furnishing my new build never mind having to do what you have done!!

Good luck

 

[Graeme GTR]

thats alot of work. Should get the clio trimmed in that carpet rather than let it go to the scrappy.

cheers folks its a little out of date and a bit of a mission indeed! today we got most of the Ikea kitchen stuff built. My dad's helping me do some of the work as its a bit labor intensive!! Girlfriend is also stripping all of the rooms and doing the painting. Getting there though!!

Epic thread! Is a nice project you've got here, bust be the best feeling seeing it all coming together!

Looking good man, I've been in my place for 2years now and I'm getting bored. Was a new build when I moved in and I've said never again, next time I wanna get my hands even dirtier. Even in the new build I've re-wired most of the lights/sockets and radiators. And I spent this weekend replacing the kitchen floor and fitting under cabinet lighting just to give myself something to do!

Like everyone has said it'll be so worth it when its done, especially when your doing the work yourself you can sit there smugly knowing that the work around you was done right and with care

I can't believe you ripped that carpet up!
