Had a new door put on the back and then decided to go for windows too. Now a couple of radders have decided to leak quite badly. Need to get them sorted fairly soon. They've rusted from the inside through. I'd love to gut a house and put my own stamp on it. But i'd have to pay someone to do most of the work due to my long working hours. Lack of pay is a problem too :lol: | |

I don't mind moving into a decent one as long as it doesnt need to much work which we're unable to do ourselves. | |

Most houses that have been vacant smell of damp, especially with the weather we are having, due to no heating being on in the house and it just constantly cold and moisture in the air. Nothing a bit of shake and vac cant sort out, airing out the house etc. Everything you've mentioned doesnt sound like £10ks work, we done a full rip out building partition walls, knocking down walls, all new frames and doors throughout brand new fitted kitchen and bathroom, every room plastered and fully decorated etc etc etc for roughly £8k. | |

Wasit cheap though, cosmetic stuff can always be sorted, you'd probably want to do 70% of what needs done anyway!! | |
