on our first house!

We'll be doing quite a bit to it, so prepare yourselfs for a barrage of questions!

Iain

Edit to add the pic. It's the right hand house and incluse the first floor that's above the alleyway. And no, the Volvo's not mine!!



Edit:- in/it - how did I manage that typo???

Cheers guys.

We had no chain either side, so I think we were lucky! I've heard some horror stories re chains!

( you prolly don't want to hear that! )

Yup, much knuckle bashing, skin removing, swearing like a b@st@rd fun to come!

It's gotta be said that I'm in the fortunate position of having a bro-in-law who is going to take a week off to help. Cheers Neil! Really, really appreciated. I just hope you have some kind of fecking idea when it comes to fitting a kitchen, cos I don't!!

Edit:- what's another edit between friends!?

Well done

We're awaiting exchange of contract bit

But we're meant to complete on 12th Aug. Fortunately, its our buyers and us buying from a builder in our chain, so quite short. Can still go pear-shaped I guess



Any questions on DIY welcome on SN - as long as in the DIY Forum

Too right - get everyone round to wreck it Iain - will save us gutting it all then once they've gone we can start putting the new bits in
