[quote][i]Originally posted by Ally[/i] .. over the last 11 months, may be helpful to you but i doubt it unless you are practising for the winge olympics 1. An 'estimate' of weeks for completion of a sale actually means 'I dont have a fucking clue, so heres a random number to get you off my back' 2. Calling your solicitor every day does not help, they deliberatly go out of their way to find ways to piss you off if you bug them 3. Walking round the house and thinking that 3k would be enough to completely redecorate a house on a tight budget is only somthing that should be done whilst high on a mixture of drugs and alcohol, not sober thinking that it is actually possible. 4. 'Getting the keys' isnt a joyous occasion like people make out to be. It is the start of the worst 6 months of your life. 5. Dont EVER remove existing wallpaper, you will only remove it to find the whole house needs to be replastered due to the utter shite underneath it. 6. Starting and stripping every room in the house is not a good idea. Do one room at a time or you will come to a year later, and have a bright purple hallway with bobbly wallpaper that cats feel the need to use as a rock climbing wall. 7. A builder is not a builder. It is a secret form of human that only survives using basic english. They have no idea of 'time' or 'dates' and do the opposite of what you ask them, even if you put it in writing. They will only work when you get on a high horse and threaten action against them - note to self, this is proving to work with most things. Sorry, this isnt really educational but the only way i can look back at things and giggle. Especially on the day i was screaming at a builder down the phone... seems funny now but at the time it was the most stressful moment of my lifffeeeee. It has been worth it thou, and to anyone out there rennovating a house, i wish you all the luck in the world! and ps - there are decent builders out there, but if you need work done, ask your family and friends for good builders they know. The FMB website only provides you with andriods and leppers. [/quote]
