I have been flat out with work, with the aim of paying for the house....... looking good, hopefully I can get ther without a mortgage and just a small bit of manageable debt

Also doing work within and furniture for the house

Wife decided this year would be the perfect year to start a 2 year MSc, so she is at university in Lincoln some of the week.

15 year old son who has decided to be a perfect pineapple hence spending a lot of time speaking to teachers, no malice in him just wants to be the years entertainer, he is very funny..........

2 dogs which need big walks.....

Anyway......... pictures, we are a bit further on than this, house is 90% rendered, decoraters are well on with it, all being sprayed, second fix electrics started

All looking very nice, Bob.

Cheers :wink:

Tiles throughout downstairs, due to the hairy dribbly thing .......... anyway lets leave the misses out of it ............. no honestly 2 dogs.
Mixture of 200mm and 300mm wide tiles, there is a repeat but over 10 runs.

Colour going on the walls, ammonite, love the sashes.

Looking really good Bob.
I'm keen to see what you do with your own kitchen

Thanks, something I added after they were fitted, really pleased with how they look. They are just part of the fixed price, I was thinking about upgrading to a walnut staircase but really pleased that determination to keep within budget stopped me.

The only overspend has been on windows and doors and a bit of additional electrics.

Hope your dog recovered, btw.

He's fine thank, shouldn't happen again as his stomach is now stitched in position.

I hear wren have a sale on :wink:

I've just been helping the in laws moving their kitchen around in the house they just bought. Today's work was a quick fix so it's usable until they're ready to redo the kitchen properly.
I'm trying to encourage them to go for an unusual kitchen design as I have some interesting ideas I need a Guinea pig to test on.

Looking good, as ever with new-old builds a decade or two will soften it greatly

Not tempted to spend the extra on krypton fill? Reduces the sections so much.

Looked at the option Jake, but as always budget is a factor, a few grand here a few grand there, soon adds up.

Lol

Talking of Wren ,one of my new neighbours has just had one delivered ,good luck. When he first bought his house and started work on it, he was all talk of getting a proper kitchen. He must have run out of money or lost his mind as he now had a Wren delivered. I'd have put it straight in the skip where it belongs lol
