this cottage has taken me 4 months to complete,we bought it for my daughter to rent,real cheap:yikes:,basicly just to help her out.

it was built in 1870 with around 100 more,but only 2 rows have survived the years. i have done all the work myself,apart from the plumbing,painting and electrics(although the plumber who did the bathroom,the bloke who did the central heating wouldent do the bathroom,he was a gas engineer, was a touch rough:thumbsdown:).
the downstairs floors were a nightmare to tile,the bloke who had it before me was a jobbing builder,he lived in it and had been doing it up for 5 years. he concreted the floors with a shovel i think:mad2:,it was impossible to level them due to heights+the bathroom is downstairs at the back of the kitchen /diner,and was 2" lower than the kitchen floor,even before i attemted to level it.
anyway,its finished now(well,nearly:smilewinkgrin:),she is in.
i am waiting to be pulled to bits,enjoy the lots and lots of photos
craig:thumbsup:

cheers for the replys,it was hard graft,had my lads and mates to help out as well who i had done favours for over the years,pulled them all in saying "remember when i skimmed that ceiling/tiled your kitchen for nowt" ect ect.:hurray:

and yes,it was worth it to get rid of our sophie:smilewinkgrin: and just to see her smile,only problem is we have a 4 year old so have to save up all over again for when she is 19:yikes:.

im loving these smilie thingies:drool5:
