Well the extension has been in use for two years now, the outside got rendered and all painted along with the main house. It was very worth while engaging in this project. Alongside our children, we have three foster children in placement, so our aims were met. The total cost was £11500.00.

Thank you, we are very pleased with how its turned out and have saved a lot of money doing so much ourselves. We were quoted by a local builder £30000. We have spent £10000. It was well worth doing. Just the external render to do and its job done.

I'm a Window Cleaner and a Foster Carer.

Still needs to be painted, but this covers the meter front totally. We have had a Smart Meter fitted so access will only be needed once a year. Children's bedrooms with wall detail applied... And a family tree in the corridor.

Today we have been issued with the Final Certificate.

The Electric meter box in the bedroom looks unsightly and of course needs dealing with. We have had a Smart Meter fitted and now access to the meter is needed only once a year. The plan is to cover this with a big mirror fixed to MDF and that screwed to the wall over the meter door. Once a year...

And room number two

The old back door through to the utility room has been made good using a door lining and architrave. All painted and glossed out in the corridor. Wall repainted and gloss applied. Bed built. My son approves...

Undercoats going on and the feature wall in this room has its first coat.

Nice job.

True I didn't use spacers, but I have made sure there is a 10mm gap, so we are good on that. As for cost, well time will tell. The rest of the house is oil fired central heating and the heat from the corridor will venture into these rooms too. Underfloor was mostly about not loosing wall space...

Insulation going down for underfloor heating. Rolling out the heat matting. Flooring going down. One room done, apart from the skirting boards and architrave.

Internal window ledges/cills fitted.

Stinky stuff it is....smells a bit like varnish

Dulux Plaster Sealer, paints on blue but dries clear. Can be used on all plaster and plasterboard.

Got some paint on the walls and ceiling. Next underfloor heating and laminate flooring.

All tape and jointed, rubbed down and sealed. Electric second fix is completed. So now to put some paint on.

I left the tapered edge on. I was quoted £1450 to skim the two rooms and the corridor, so I am doing likewise. If it turns out bad I'll have to get someone in, if not,...happy days.

Having a go at the tape and jointing, stopping in the screw heads etc. I think it may well turn out ok.

You guys had me worried, so I have been checking my emails to ensure that the photos I sent, was giving him (Building Controller) a very clear picture of what I have done with the insulation and the lighting. The pictures are very clearly showing the insulation with 100mm square holes cut...
