Project Milverton- First House
Congratulations, sounds like it'll make a lovely home
Demon Yes i seen the pics from yours, you have done some awesome work already
Know exactly what you mean, thats why i liked this one as we could put our own stamp on it. Got some big plans for this one and as i can do the planning permission and building regs myself im planning to do something really special with the extension we are planning

Thanks Guys, love the fact we finally have a house, got there in the end
Anyway, here are a few pics. Obviously its our first house and like i said needs work but will be epic in the end........
When i first got there, skip waiting already
Front door...........

loft hatch and damage..........
main bedroom and my free set of golf clubs that where left at the house.........
tiny little bathroom.........
living room and dinning room.........
Kitchen.......
mini utility and garden, and my run down workshop...........

Back of house, roof needs looking at but we plan to extend off the back and redo a lot of this, with something a bit special as well
inside garage.........
shoe cobler........... lol
dodgy electrics..........
and then after taking the pics we got to work............... 20 minutes later.....
Thats the last time i invite my bro round, he flippin trashed the place and left it in a right mess. LOL
Went back this evening and did a little more, got loads more plaster off the walls. Plan is to hopefully get most of the plaster off the walls this weekend.
Will update again soon with more pics..............

Thanks Mate, its looking like a complete mess at the moment but will be worth it in the end.
Anyway, we went back yesterday, not too early as i didn't want to upset the neighbours too much. Work started at around 10am and we didn't leave till about 6:30pm and we have now almost filled the skip.
Mazda tucked up asleep in the garage, finally got to try out my car cover that came it..........
more mess........
Sarah working away hard..........
My bro working away..........
Sarah's bro working away, He was working away in one room and almost came through the wall..........
me looking back........
and my bro taking a break..........
taking a break to do some extreme gardening........
and then back to it, the little flecks in this picture are actually dust.............
started taking up parts of the floor, the wiring is so dodgy its unreal. Obviously it will be all getting replaced so not too worried
Almost now come to a stand still as we can't do much till the ceiling artex is checked for asbestos content. Hopefully have someone popping round this week coming to have a look and take a few samples
Jason
What a mess you have made !! But I cant understand why you need to check the artex , just get a mask on and rip it down !!
Want to get the artex checked as the house was built in 1939. About the same time that asbestos was being put into EVERYTHING, artex, paint etc. I just want to be 100% certain that it doesn't contain any asbestos, looking in the loft the ceiling looks a bit suspect to say the least.
I have been on several asbestos courses and im fully aware of the risks with the stuff. Its got to be one of the worst ways to die. Its not worth taking the risk mate, plus the skip is full so needs changing anyway.
Jason
Thanks Mate.
Will do, was thinking today about having some sort of sound system running throughout the house. Sort of like a central hub and then speakers built into each room. Not sure what exactly?!?!?
