Bet its starting to come together now, great stuff :j

Are you booking carpenter to come back for the downstairs doors?

Great you can do stuff yourself too, my limit is painting and picture hooks :rotfl:. I have put curtain poles up though - almost straight :rotfl:

Well we agreed a price on a few jobs
fit kitchen inc floor and tiles all plumbing oven ect ect hang 7 doors loft floor and a new window sill in the conservatory

the mosaic stone is on the walls today and the floor is layed out so tomorrow the floor will be done and then i can have a good look at whats left to do

I did have a quick word with him today and he said hell have to pop back in the evenings to finish off whats left

i will however tell him not to bother with the loft just hang the doors and sort my sill out in conservatory he does a great job either way he wont be getting payed till its all done

oh well Not much can be done when you get other people in to do stuff

Hope everyone has a great weekend enjoy

Bit of a money situation update

i ow out around 4000 for kitchen and carpenter

now i had 5k for the house left so that leaves me with 1k which isnt enough 5k would of done it but iv got much higher spec than i thought i would :beer:

i think around 2k will finish the house off :j:j

still have the 15k EF this is overkill for what i need so some will be going into the house or over payment once remortgaged.

Overall things look ok i still wanna get under that 60k mark this year tho but cant overpay while the house is beign done as i may need it

Fab renovation budget there - and higher spec under budget :j

It will be lovely - I'm scared to renovate because ive been badly burned by rip off tradesmen in the past.it can be hard to find someone reliable.

You've come so far since buying the house, amazing work both in it and the finances :T

Bet you can't wait for the re-mortgage.

Ali im actually more excited about remortgaging than moving in haha
