update.

Bedroom 2:

Stripped the wallpaper, found some dates and names behind the paper! 1933!
Had to remove an old electric conduit from the meter box, wall, coving and roof. Not a clean job but it'll patch up well.
Lifted the floor too just to see what its like down there.... dungeon like!








Living room 1:

Stripped walls, more dates 1921 and 1933 again.
Stripped the woodwork back, and the fireplace.
Pulled the carpet(s) up... yuk
Found some old pics and postcards behind the fire surround. Think its the old woman as a baby in one pic.


































Bedroom1: Filled with crap... bed, sofa's etc



Living room 2: Our living space for now... :S





kitchen : yuk

all wood work in the main living room stripped, walls filled, ceiling started being scraped.

Mantelpiece is going to be a cunt unit though.... Loads of polish on certain parts making it a bit of a pain to strip back.
