      Yes indeed. I was almost sad to see that wood taken out, but I’ve taken care of it and will be using it as material in other parts of the house. 80 year old timber and still dry and strong…

            My guys are a bit annoyed at having to work in the rain. They opened up a wall on Friday, and didn’t realise how much would have to be done… so they’re here today as well the poor buggers.

                  @neph93 I haven't been on here in a bit, you can see what I've been busy with over in the cars thread.  Any new progress on the house?  I'm looking forward to seeing it finished!

                    Thanks for you interest! There is progress on a number of fronts…

                    We got our TV bench finished (and had to buy a new TV to go on it…)

                    All windows and external doors have been changed…




                    And I anticipate the boarding will be finished before xmas.

                    I’m working away in the cellar, and hope that two bedrooms and the man cave will be fully operational before xmas too.

                      It looks like it is definitely coming along with some solid progress.  Looks great!

                        To much progress to document really… but here’s today’s job. We’ve extended the entré by a couple of square meters and I’ve built up the floor with impregnated chipboard and master board. The sparky was here on Friday so today I covered his heating cables to make ready for tiling next week.

                              I think this whole renovation was just to evo those jeans 😃

                              They (and the side-project) look incredible!

                              Think it, be it.

                                The jeans got a real kicking today… first time I’ve ever done any tiling. If I’m lucky, I’ll be dead before I have to do it again [emoji28]

                                    On the whole I enjoy the whole DIY/carpentry thing, but tiling is fekkin’ hard work. The best bit was having to buy an angle grinder with a diamond cutting disc to trim the buggers. Awesome bit of kit and thrillingly scary to use.

                                        Two down, three to go before bed. Luckily the carpenter responsible for the framing did a top job, so they’re not posing to many problems. I think I’ll have to buy him some Iron Heart to say thank you [emoji56]

                                          Nice!!  How much more is there to go?  …and full disclosure, lived in our house for 10 years and haven’t even touched the basement.  It’s insulated and has a vapour barrier, but we put it off until the kids got older to decide how to use it.

                                          Right now it’s the catch all, kids play area, craft area, and general f’n mess from all of the activities.  Went down there the other day to get something, lost it, jumped on the motorcycle to cool down…two kids can write off an area quickly.
