  • Great result - congratulations to everyone who supported Mike and all the people who did the work. Looks great. Although I don't think Billy moved that trunking judging by the reveal shot!

    Not sure why people were having trouble finding this thread - i just put Mikes mob in google and it came up straight away?

    Mike- it has been lovely to be able to see your amazing house transformation. It is great to see good things flowing to you after all your troubles. I'll head back to lurking again now but I'll be checking on your progress. Onwards and upwards!

  • Watching DIY SOS the brain cells started pinging, have put the laptop on to confirm what I thought, the story is totally familiar and it is Mike! What a brilliant ending to a terrible tale.
    I think, as a MSE lurker, all the posters to this thread should feel really good about themselves and I sincerely hope equally good things happen to you all in 2011.
