House looks cool
In the kitchen however
Would it benefit from a window in the wall on the right, as it looks like it would let in a lot more light?

Lookin is good mate. What a difference the tiles make in the kitchen. How much did it cost to do?? Mines all stripped out at the mo and lookin to retile it. Looks a similar size to mine. Did you get someone in to do it or DIY? Im thinkin of having a go myself.

I've been there most of the day today, walls have been painted in an apricot, upstaires, down the landing. Bathroom upstairs has been tiled and grouted. Light fitting has been attached in the bedroom. Circular window has been painted in gloss white. Doors have been finished too.
Laptop is knackard at the moment, so can't update this thread with any pictures unfortunately.
And Greg - Yes i would actually LOVE to do this for a living, I actually enjoy it, and the fact i can see whats progressed i like the best? Nobody would dream of hiring me, due to not having any trade or much experience.
I have personally gained a hell of a lot from this project, and would love to do something in the future with my own property.
Oh and the carpets have been ordered.
