May add plenty of value to the property

Full house pics here - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/garage.php?action=usergarage&owner=richie&carid=4337&page=all
Before the work, yeh it was disgusting really fooking rank! Everything was done half-assed and when we stripped each room the walls underneath were in such a state i've had to have the interior of the house re plastered
Bought it for 67k which was a good deal, gunna get it revalued onces its done to see how much the price has increased!
Hard work thou, stressful at times! Thanks to Rich for helping me as well
and thanks for your comments, it is better but to me its still awful

Yeh, i got a large 3 bed with garden and garage for 67k
A friend of mine bought one 5 mins down the road that was done for 90k, and one about ..... 200 meters from my house went for 96k a few weeks ago so im hoping for the 80/85k mark once its done, maybe more
Looking to move in end of easter hols as all the flooring is being laid on the 18th so will move in on the 18th
Better get my arse into gear then

I u2u'd you beatch
Going up there tonight so will try and get some pics of the bedrooms, not looking 2 bad but still have a long way to go
Hoping to move in over easter as flooring is going down on the 18th and im off 13th - 18th
Main concern atm is the internal doors as i dont have any apart from the bathroom which (for some reason) is a glass door!
