My House Refurb (House Purchase 8/10/2013)
Discussion
A detailed shot of the brick boarder round the house and porch
Some more brick detail. This is chasing round the whole property under the facias and sofits.
Note from the builder so i don't fall through the underfloor heating trays! good man!
A picture showing the wall cavity for the discussion above (AVForums), I couldn't get a photo showing the wall ties sorry, but it shows the insulation in-between the walls
Tiles in place on the roof
Some of the tiles in place showing the detail and how it will look
The underfloor heating has now been laid in all the rooms upstairs and the landing. Very impressed. If you are interested all the underfloor heating came from Uheat. they were significantly cheaper than what the plumber.... which was17k for the whole house... UHeat came in at 3.4k...
Next job is trying to relocate all these plants to somewhere in the garden...
We have laid cabling in the front of the property for either 2 or 3 on each side of the gable.. not sure how many to install...
Rough idea on locations... any ideas?
House from the road....

Wow. Just wow!
I hadn't seen this thread before, so read your first post then skipped right to the end. Then scanned back through to see if it was actually the same house and project!
A hugely impressive transformation, well done
Thanks very much!I hadn't seen this thread before, so read your first post then skipped right to the end. Then scanned back through to see if it was actually the same house and project!

So the worktops are on order (the ones in the photos are temporary)
Ensuite starts to be tiled this weekend
I need to start planning rain water drainage.... so has anyone on here done rainwater drainage before??
thanks chaps.
Yes copper handles. http://allhandlesandpulls.co.uk
Got them from the website above.
The RAL colour is RAL 7038
Also had it matched on the garage door.
We love the RAL colour but we paid slightly more to have the Bifolds white on the inside with the RAL colour only being on the outside.

Slate is going down well, we went with D-Matting in the end.
Dorrs are arriving today
16 of these
Sourcing the doors were a nightmare (thanks for your help NeilYVM)
Some of our door frames are 2030mm high...
Comms room still needs to be patched correctly. I have a multimeter to make sure i am patching the correct cat6 to the correct patch port
