Hello anybody!, had the keys since friday, bank holiday weekend and I am fed up already lol!. Whole place needs gutting, 90 yr old man from Poland lived there previously and didnt spend anything on the house, bless . However he did leave thousands of pounds and dollars in the house and a old pristine blue corvette in the garage (for his relatives). Lifes like that!!. I have just recently joined this forum as I spotted really good advice/info on it. I am also going to be updating this on a regular basis, if it interests anyone out there, great, but believe me it is also for my own sanity!, you know kind of like a diary and sounding board in one, yippee!.
My plan is to stay in my rented place for at least another 5 months until the semi is habitable, the place has been empty for years and electricity is comin off one socket, no gas and just managed water from a main today.no working loos as yet!, good job i live on the same street!. There seems to be a lot of artex about and woodchip unfortunately , but there you go, still trying to clear out clutter, i have even been cutting ancient rotting carpet into pieces and putting it into black bags as cant get a skip yet!. Almost stripped two rooms over the weekend (except for the woodchip teehee!). walls are rough and cornices and skirtings even worse ie broken, cracked and glossed a hideous brown colour, i,m sure you get the drift!. Hey the floorboards are in really good condition ......so far!. What I need is a plan!. For now its onwards and upwards and see what tomorrow brings! goodnite x
