Hi
I just want to explain my project to other members to hopefully gain some advice from your past experiences and do's and dont's. Basically, i've just bought a house and its in need of a good doing up (thank god for this website and forum). So here's my project...
- Completely re-do the bathroom, take out the bath and replace with large shower and re-tile walls and floor. Replace radiator with towel radiator.
- Brand new kitchen, tile the floors and some walls. Change light fittings and paint. Or maybe even just replace doors, cooker, hob and sink unit.
- Replace the existing boiler with a combi boiler and remove hot water cylinder
- General painting all over, real wood flooring in the lounge, tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, carpet everywhere else. Was considering wooden stairs but i think a no no for now.
Thats pretty much it, but given that my budget is quite low (around 3k) i just thought i'd try my luck and see what you guys can offer in terms of what to do first, what not to do and where to shop (in the west manchester area)
Hope someone can help as it seems a lot to do, with no real obvious starting point
Thanks
Kev
