I found a couple of topics with various comments but they all seemed to be locked, so i decided to make a new one.
I've just finished watching the DIY SOS special which came about after an MSE person recommened Mika (liswaters) who got screwed over by a cow boy builder.
Please feel free to congratulate Mike on his new home.

I just watched it tonight its brilliant mike. So so pleased for you.
When I had my house re-wired and plastered in 2008 there was just me, colin a friend fitted my fire and the rest was done by a joiner decorator and carpets fitted and lino done, rest of work was done by me and I was depressed with it too. Only that I was on my own doing it. Its surprising how much money you spend too. £2k for electrics that were not finished only the light fittings not screwed into ceilings and I cant reach them now. Kitchen not finished all plumbing to boiler is not boxed in. Its going to be like that forever as I cant afford to do it now.
Even the painting not finished cause I cant reach.
I could not believe how much plaster dust I had.
Thankfully it was all cosy for christmas that year, but I still have things unfinished such as stair edges have gaps between walls and my daughters bedroom has a ten year old plastic sliding door falling to bits. Its narrow than a normal door so no wooden doors can be fitted to it.
Glad to see all your friends on here helped you with the build too. Mortgage Free 2016Work Part Time:DHouse Hunting In France 20230 -
We saw that the other night...I think it's the best one they've done.
It was nice to see someone who deserves a break, getting one :j.
I hope him and his family have many happy memories in their new home. 😇 Sealed Pot Challenge: Member No: 20: 2012 = £92.14; 2013 = £45.27; 2014 = £54.70; 2015 = ; 2016 = £70.38 2022 = £10.58 2023 = ???? 🍀 2023 DECLUTTERING CAMPAIGN Mrs SD 65/365 so far. 👾 The Other Way, or the MSE Way: My Personal Challenge 🍀 The Other Way, or the MSE Way: My Personal Challenge 20120
