Re: New House New Project

Oooh Summer, I'm SO jealous. Love the look and shape of the sitting room!

What year is it? Town or country? How many floors? How long do you think it will take to complete once work is started?

(Yes I'm nosy but incredibly interested in anything 'house-moving-and-house-doing-upping' )

I'm all excited for you and I can't wait to see all the other rooms and garden, whether before or after ones.
No pressure though

Re: New House New Project

It looks like you have some exciting possibilities, Summer! Wise woman to redo that kitchen with that electricity situation.

Looking forward to the updates!

Re: New House New Project

Wow! What an interesting house. I love the curved walls and there's even a curved door no less. It will be a labour of love but will be well worth it in the end.

What a beautiful sitting room, Summer, love the steps and the shape of the windows. No wonder you fell in love!

Re: New House New Project

Btw Summer, if you need to buy curved skirting for your curved living room, your best bet is B&Q, I have never found a straight piece of wood in there since it opened in 1969.

Even treated can have significantly weakened the roof structural strength .. I know these things having lived in an old converted barn (pig sty actually and that's the truth).

I was told that that if you can fit your fingernail in a crack in a wall it's getting serious. If you can fit the end of your finger tip in..wear a hard hat.

Best of luck.


Morti, that reminded me of when I had a subsidence problem here.
One crack got so bad I could see next door's fence through it!!
