i did a bit of labouring fitting bathrooms and kitchens, fitted a kitchen in a much much MUCH smaller shell of a room similar. the satisfaction at the end was brilliant...

looks like adams celling! ;)

that's a shell, great to have it all shiny new though:).
The whole house was covered in a thick layer of plaster and brick dust for weeks. When we moved the heavy bedroom furniture this weekend there was an embarrassing amount of it on the carpet underneath. I had to vacuum before the decorator arrived :D

I had a 2 ring electric hob and a microwave in the conservatory for cooking and washed up in the bath (I used a bowl - I didn't get in with it :D)

A 6 week job ended up taking nearly 11. It was worth it in the end, but the pain is still with me. It will take a long time for me to want to undertake another project like that.

actually working on bringing his humidity down, it's around 85. been through a lot of blue roll with condensation! temps are up'd to compensate.

It's Christmas.
No one can ever find the cellotape at Christmas.
It's traditional.

Just push the end of individual leaves into damp compost and they'll root and grow very quickly. :)

Yes! Hate the cold.
Aww poor you! How dare Oli be so mean!
And yes. Max is stubborn, benjamin is stubborn, my boyfriend is stubborn...and I am stubborn.
Such an interesting combination
Hi Linhdah. Oh GOD, Oli is not mean. I am the one who spoiled him: I began to hand-feed him as he wouldn't eat when I got him. New environment, new owner and the rest. I've never had a pet, therefore I got worried. I began to hand-feed him and it went on till this day!

So you're all stubborn. (Only hoking). I can be, but on the whole I can give and take.
