Due to my disability my wife and I had being living with my mum for the last few years but we worked our way around it and have brought the house so we finally have a place to ourselves to call home.

Its been a month of hardwork but with help from my Dad. Thanks Dad your a star we are pretty much done with the lounge.

Here is what the house looked like when we took ownership.















We'd hated the brown carpet, Salmon sofa for so long and was great to finally be able to rip it all out. As you can see on the final photo we had interior curtains. When the extention was built at the back the window was left in, so we had an interior window that was always covered with curtains. A bizzare design decision and the first job after wallpaper stripping was to rip out the window.



Unfortunatly the leather sofa and chair arrived a few weeks early so we had to work around them.



Fireplace ripped out and a cardboard marking for our plasma



What a mess, dust everywhere, a stressfull couple of weeks.



starting to look better now, all the plastering done and everything painted white.



The window gone and plastered up, well done Dad :thumbsup:



plasma bracket on the wall and all the cables channeled in the wall and the floor.
