Yep....got the permission and warrants through just a few weeks ago. We started it all last February!!! 10 months!
We're having a few problems getting builders just to give us a quote for it though. Our architect got a couple of quotes for us but they're both pretty expensive so will see if we can get a few more

Looks really good, must have been a lot of effort but my god it's looks worth while. I love the kitchen and the hallway, lots of wood throughout but is broken up by the different bits from each room.

Yup... most of the house is quite traditional, except for the kitchen and bathrooms. They still have orig features though.
Had another guy round to quote for the garage this morning. He thinks about 36k. Where the hell do they pull these quotes from!

put an advert in the jobcentre for a builder £25 an hour and am sure there are plenty looking for work they just dont have their own business, i reckon thats what ill do when im in the situation to do a garge, get the founds and the base done order all the materials then hire a bricky

We are STILL working on the hall! I can't believe how slack we have been with it! Hopefully get it finished soon at some point.
That would have been the house pretty much finished, but I got back from holiday a couple of weeks ago to find a leak in our bathroom from the flat upstairs. A few days later our ceiling fell down I nearly shit myself!
It's made a bit of a mess
All the cornicing is damaged, which is what is annoying me most
The lathe and plaster will all need to come down, new ceiling put up, all the tiles need to come off and be replaced, worktop is damaged, bath is damaged and lights are damaged
What a pain!
Just waiting on the insurance company pulling their finger out so we can get it done.

Yep
We've agreed a settlement with the insurance company now.
Unfortunately in addition to our normal excess we also have a 'water loss' excess which they can try to recover from the upstair's insurer as 'goodwill'. We are both covered by the same insurer, so chances of them giving it to us are slim I think!
So we have the pleasure of paying £400 for upstairs damaging our bathroom

I hate crap like this, its their fault, they should pay.
Next door's chimney fell off the roof and damaged our roof beams, tiles, smashed the flat roof & the shed. Act of god & storm damage as they couldnt prove that the chimney stack was in disrepair.
I argued the point that no other fucking stacks fell down that day, but they didnt get it. so 300quid excess and months of fucking about with our insurance.
insurance companies = tossers.
House looks good btw.

They should claim off ther insurance and not yours to fix your flat.
thats what insurance is for, they had a leek and damaged someone elses falt.. it's their fault.
