Well the tiler was in yesterday finishing the bathroom, and we are sooooo chuffed with it  What a transformation!
Plumber comes in on Monday to final fit everything, then we'll get the sealant on, get the door painted, and I'll give the place a good clean and it'll finally be finished 
Before:
As of yesterday:

Thats the hall, bathroom and 2 bedrooms finished now.
Just the livingroom and kitchen to do, waiting on new kitchen getting delivered.
Will get carpets fitted once its all done
It all needs a clean but will do that last also. We can't wait to get moved in! it all feels so fresh and bright compared to the dingy mess that was. We like the neutral look
And the kitchen mid-rip-out stage.
Also ripped out the horrid plastic water feature from the front garden and tidied it up a bit, removed all the rubble.
We'll get there eventually! Hope to be in by June.
Thanks for looking

wow you guys are doign a really good job, looks impressive
my 2p... one of my sisters ex fellas did up an old house ocne to the nicest std, spent a fortune doign it up etc but when he tried to cash in and sell it noone was interested cos the remainign area was a dive and the outside of the house and surrounding bits etc were really not very nice. now excuse me for sounding rude but the area doesnt look taht nice and yet you appear to be doing quite a classy job of the house, not worried that you may be unable to sell it? or are you more doign it for you to live? Only seen the first few pics where it looks almost destitute(!) and the bathroom pics so not much to go on

Jungle does pretty much everything himself so it will just be materials. Wont be a 'huge' amount in the grand scheme of things. That area will only get better aswell, probably wouldn't have considered that area a few years ago. Correct me if I'm wrong Jungle..
