Moved to Looe, Cornwall a couple of weeks ago and it has been hell.
I only got the Internet connected today after 3 attempts by Openreach to connect.
The house can only be described as a dirty hole. It's minging. :o :o :o
Everything needs doing - floors, ceilings, walls, doors, everything.
Saving grace it that Looe is beautiful. :y
Thanks to you all for the advice about moving here. :y
-
But on the plus side B&Q have a sale on :D ;D Good luck in your new home :y

Glad that you arrived safely, Kate. I'd gladly tolerate a shit-hole to live in Looe! All of your problems will be solved by the hundreds of Oofers queueing up to help you in exchange for a stay in Cornwall......
;D ;D ;D

Yes Looe is lovely, Ron.
Today I've got to fit doors to the kitchen and living room and tile the bathroom. I've already fitted a new bath mixer tap - I just hope I've done it right and it doesn't leak.
Flooring needs to be fitted in every room and everywhere needs painting or wallpapering. I've fitted the living room carpet already and my housemate decorated so it looks nice.
The doors I've got to fit are those hollow ones but they are an inch too big so I'm hoping I can trim them down a bit. Just hope they don't fall apart on me. ;D

I'm so pleased I moved here though. It's gorgeous.

Take it off both sides evenly .. the battening isn't much over an inch or two thick on those from memory..

You'll be able to relax in a beautiful location such as Looe, Ms. kate. :-* :-* :-*
I'm sure that the house can be sorted given time. :y

or take it all off one side, and glue a new batten in.

Or that, good point :y
Which reminds me I need to glue one of my doors back together! (1970s original, so it's lasted quite well ;D)

I was watching one of those shopping channels and they had a spray gun to paint the whole room including the doors :o Its a lot quicker but you need to be good at masking :y
I bought a chopping/dicing
/slicing machine ::)

If it's anything like the garden panel spraying systems, they are rubbish!

Proper electric pump system , but they do make it look easy on the tv . He sprayed the ceiling and not one drop of spray on his head ::)

Well I started planing the sides and after a couple of minutes the belt broke on the electric planer. ::)

And I can't find the circular saw. Bo Locks ;D

The joys of DIY, best of luck Kate. ;)

My mate in Texas had decorators in and everything was sprayed. Day 1 they did the walls and Day 2 prepped, masked, and sprayed the doors and woodwork. It looked good too! :y

I painted my bathroom door with white gloss, watered down with thinners - with an automotive gun.
Looks OK ::)
