Man that flat's looking nice. Can't beleive the price difference in housing. Down here a studio flat casts £90k. The 2 bed we rent is worth £140k.
Would love to buy a house/flat and do it up, love DIY 
Dumps will use any excuse to ban ppl. A guy I worked with got a bollocking for taking two, yes just 2 xmas trees down our tip. |

Nearly a month since anything has hjappened, here.
I fitted a 5 tumbler yale for the insurance.
And today my mum and I were to get the bathroom sorted for the tiler tomorrow, tiler coming in means no hassle for me! yay!
So my mum picked me up this morning and we headed for Ikea for a breakfast. We then headed round and had a gander, then headed to B&Q.
Due to major dicking around things never really got started until 4pm!
Anyway we came through in the end.
ceiling lowered, lighting wired, bath fitted, toilet bowl fitted, gyproc put up and so on
lighting wiring, got 10 50w halogen lights from B&Q gor £24.95, bargain!

the things poking through the wall are the shower pipe and power supply

I always get the shit jobs - literally! The cistern wouldn't undo 1 of the bolts so pulled the lot off and had to drain the water out of the bowl

So its now 3:17 am and the tiler comes at 8am and I dunno if I am getting picked up at half 7 or not!

yeah ikea telly stand.
the lights you need to have a cavity above for them, those lights need 150mm which is ok as we dropped the ceiling.
As for the loo just go roudn the corner to my mums, although I did pish in the new loo, just chuck a bucket of water down it to flush.
Its Chris btw not Amber! lol
I am uploading some more pics the now |
