somebody asked why I am doing all this work? well apart from the obvious fancied a change/ increase house value etc this was actually all planned in 2005. even with drawings and estimates. and then my ex left for a younger model and left me with about 25K debt blah blah blah. I had to keep going and keep the house or lose my future/ pension/ investments= so i filled it with foreign students and paid the debts and kept going. this is a long story cut v short btw.
then I met a fabulous new man and eventually he moved in and said hey this is a great house and you should do it up,,,,,, and the rest is history so they say. Eternally garteful not just for his love and support but the opportunity to realise the dream of seeing this house made a home. And he loves it and is active in the design choices and hard graft.
so here we are doing it together and looking to the future which a while ago I thought I could not do. we plan to stay here for afew years and then sell and move hopefully to France to buy a renovation project,
meantime we are seeing what work we can do ourselves (decorating. garden redeisgn and build, etc) and enjoying what we have.

Love the positive end to what must have been a S*** time, I've been there....had to sell the house give the evil one his share and buy another place, But like you I've found an amazing man who has seen me through two of the most trying years of my life so as they say 'every cloud......etc! AND he's good at electrical stuff and climbing ladders!!!!
