The Raven Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ive made my mind up to start a topic about my DIY house building. Alot of the work was being done at weekends and spare time however ive had a good 2 weeks on it an im starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Best of all thus far the old man and i have done all the work ourselves. http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/4498/house020in3.th.jpg Lounge http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/1829/house033st1.th.jpg Bedroom http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/1386/house034lq3.th.jpg En Suite http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/7325/house028ou0.th.jpgKitchen http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/3938/house030sh9.th.jpg Me and the old man.

The Raven Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Worth it mate. Bugger, she has taken my digi cam! Its handly being able to put the whole lot on here as my family and freinds can follow the build too. Worth it yes, although sometimes i wonder why i dont pay someone else to do it. Maybe coz im tightfisted Once the staircase is finished its on to the lounge wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I hope I get the "get up and go" enough to undertake something like that one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I feel for you mate. We also have a project ongoing and it looks as if it will take 12-months from start to finish - we are 50% complete now but what a job? I often see light at the end of the tunnel and then someone blows the entrance up and it all goes dark again:D Best of luck and keep us all posted;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Seeing your thread here has reminded me of what I had to do this year to the house I now live in with my girlfriend. I may start a thread soon about it, but I need some up to date photos to show it all done. Well done for taking this on, as its far more work than you even realise at the time!
