    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.

              Pretty much… [emoji2957]

              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.

                    Pic dump of progress…

                    I love my trailer…

                    Shitty bit of concreting in a cellar doorway

                    More cellar progress


                    Hiring large bits of machinery

                    Standing 7m in the air on aforementioned machinery

                    A painted house with 2/3 cellar windows installed

                    Twat on a lift…

                      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.

                          Ha! The kids will tear this place up pretty quick, no doubt. Ingrid will probably never go down there.

                          Two bedrooms are nearly done, the cellar lounge/tv/games room is half finished (ceiling, and half the walls left). There’s a hallway and a couple of storage rooms down there too.

                          It has been built up from a medieval dungeon by my own fair hand, and just the work to mitigate damp took months, so I’m not unhappy.

                            The entrée is nearly done [emoji50]‍[emoji100] Built it up from the studs, did my first ever bit of tiling and even built the shelves and bench from scratch. Design by Hot Ingrid (of course).

                                All of the tell tale traits of living in a northern climate.  Tiled entry way for easy cleaning, lots of places to hang coats/jackets, storage space for hats/mitts, and a place to sit down and take off the snowy winter boots and to put on indoor shoes/slippers.

                                      Thank you Sam!

                                      So after over a year of living here I can finally declare the living room/dining room finished (except for for a tiny area of 6x18cm, honour and glory if you spot it).

                                      To be fair it has been 90% done for ages but the entré needed fixing before I could install the door and finish the threshold between living room and entré.

                                          BEAUTIFUL home nearing the finish line. Clean without being antiseptic, modern but still warm and homey, practical, comfortable… I know it's been a long painful journey but you have a lot to be proud of @neph93
