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!?

Edit: Doh!

Moi aussi and I'm getting right royally pi$$ed off with it all!

I bought my first house today as well

 

I've just had a big dump

Thought you'd all like to know that too

 

No probs re the help mate - glad I can help

Now, what does a hammer look like again?

 

Nice one Kenny! Good to hear you don't have to be too mature to get away with it!


And Neil, you can.....well, I might just edit my kind words from my previous post!

 

hehehe

I tried - I really did! But I just couldn't resist

 

Nice one House warming (wrecking ) Party???

 

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

 

Damn right Paul! As long as you paint/paper what you wreck afterwards!

 

Puff, I know!

Though I'll probably need it renaming to BIY - Bodge It Yourself!

 

OI [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Speak for yourself

 

I am! My fingers are crossed hoping it doesn't apply to you!!

 

LMFAO DIY is 90% common sense and 10% skill.

Oh bugger...............
