I quite like it in real life, the copper looks good against the white and its mm perfect in terms of length, central against the rad. and level. | |

All but finished, waiting on some furniture to turn up and need to mount the TV bracket and a mirror in the bedroom as well as have a good clean through - really pleased with how its turned out - tenants move in Saturday. | |

Not really possible with the way the plumbing is laid out - the main gas in is directly below that boiler but the main meter splits to a sub meter in each flat and its all a bit of a mish-mash from when it was originally split. Boiler gets built into a cupboard there anyway, I'm just replacing the original poorly built unit with a newly built, cleaner looking cupboard. | |

Do you have to fire board it with a flat been above ? I think if of re located the boiler if it was possible | |

The girder above is 6" and I want the wall to be flat on both sides from floor to ceiling. The brick work sits back from the edge of the girder so I can dot/dab the upper boards and get a decent fixing along the bottom edge where the last bit of stud is still exposed. | |

Pretty much finished the rewiring, just need to connect up to the new consumer unit and finish the kitchen wiring; also boarded out the main chimney opening and built the stud wall to partition off the bedroom and living room. | |

Finished the gutting and now starting to go back together - really trying to be all ready for 18th May which will mean we've done the whole place in 6/7 weeks. | |

Its the ground floor of a Victorian end terraced town house; they're all fairly similar I guess. | |

Had a tenant in this flat since we bought it so not got round to doing anything with it. No before pictures as I forgot to take any but it was old fashioned, shit and had the wankest electrics and plumbing that I've ever seen. Kitchen was badly fitted, doors hanging off and not actually fitting the units they were on so when he moved out on Saturday, we started gutting it on Sunday. |
