Master bedroom after -






We still have a while to go yet, interior doors need to be fitted, curtains, built in wardrobe needs to be put in, furniture, fire needs to go in and surrounds fitted properly... and alot more but at least i can see light at the end of the tunnel

Really chuffed atm, was ready to hang myself a couple of weeks ago because it can be really stressful at times! Worth it thou... well worth it!

Should say massive massive thank you to Richie for all his help, couldnt of done it without you .... well not quite there yet but u get me

The walls and lamps make that look like a cheap hotel/B+B.

Much better now though, good paint colour too

Hmmm i need to move out this year...

Are houses in Wales cheaper than here in England? I've been on holiday there and liked the area and the house next door was for sale at £87,000 with 4 bedrooms.

I want to do up make a quick turn around & move up the ladder, do that a few times then settle! I can renovate them for very cheap so might aswell take the benefits.

Sounds like Abertillery, saw a 3 bed house there for 52k... but was way 2 far away from work!

Its cheaper but depends on area tbh, i live in Pontypool and houses are generally cheaper there. Mine was 67k for a 3 bed terraced, but its needed alot of work.

Friend i work with bought a 2 bed terraced in Sebastapol for £89k, its quite big and very nice!

Im originally from Swindon and looked at houses there, but needed at least 85k + just for a flat!
