Bought a house at last - thanks HG&DIY forum

Looks fabulous! If that's your first house, you've done pretty well. 'Nothing special' my arse. Well done. Enjoy it, you've clearly worked for it. Wishing you many happy years in there.

Oh, I should add, this is indeed a great forum. Although hubster is petrol driven, when I was looking for someone to share my house building woes with, this was and still is, top spot. Any questions, someone friendly here will know the answer.

Well done OP. It was ain the late 90s for me but I remember it like it was yesterday. I slept on the floor the day I got my keys. Nothing in the flat

Thanks all, your kind words mean a lot.

Your humility is nicer than your house, which itself is very nice!

All the best

One thing that I immediately noticed was that guttering run between dormers - that's not normal is it? I'd normally expect a central downpipe to take those short runs.

Yes, it's a somewhat unusual set up. All the group of houses built at the same time in this part of the road are similar.

Congratulations ! We are in exactly the same boat as you, recently purchased and done using a large dose of knowledge picked up on the way from browsing this section for ages. Big thumbs up to all contributors

Good luck in the new house.

Congratulations and best of luck in yours as well.

Well done George, roof looks fine for now , and you need to get some spanners in the garage for when i need to service the X5

I've got the Halfords pro kit jobbie somewhere.

Would have been dull without pics you should be proud to post them. How old is the house? Really hard to tell.

Thank you. As mentioned, it was supposed to be more of a forum thanks thread rather than a look at my house thread. IIRC, the house was built in 1977.

There are a lot of knowledgeable people on here. It's also great to see projects come to fruition and that's only possible by members taking the time to share to help the 'community'.

Lovely looking house
Well done.

Looks nice.

Is that a possible man-shed hiding at the end of the garden?

Now just add one of these to the patio - it'll fit right in......;)

[g3org3y]

Thanks chaps.

@wsurfa: Just a regular shed. Looking to fill it with garden tools. Gardening is not something I've previously been interested in, but definitely willing to give it a go. Lawnmover on the 'to buy' list, along with a barbecue.

That looks like a lovely house, congratulations!
