Tuesday's Metro

Postby Spiritater » Thu Aug 16, 2018 6:38 am

Did anyone see the article in the 'Home' section about Carolyn and Radford Towers? Must've spent an absolute pile on the renovation of the place.
17 bedrooms :shock:

She took the project on herself (didn't do all the work obviously :lol: ) and said she found it very daunting.

Its really easy to just appoint a builder to renovate a property when you have a limitless budget while assuming the executive project manager role.

I renovated a rental property in Nottingham, stripped it back to re-wire, put in central heating, new kitchen and bathroom, white goods, flooring and carpets, decorated; £12k. Doing work i could myself. Got rediculously cheap kitchen from Howdens for 2k through a mate. Rents out at 600quid a month.

The renovation works added 35k to the price i paid for the property. Winner.
You've got to go there and come back, to know where you've been.

Ironically I've only this week shaved a few mill of the underside of the kitchen door using a plane that I had to source of a man and woman who lived in the same house as me for the first twenty-five years of my life.

Yep. I knew the previous owner. I went to the house a few times in its previous state. Have to say it looked better before, but each to their own. At least the Radfords have restored it after it was decaying for 3 years.

I hope you weren't too daunted by that epic undertaking, Doomy?



It's only a matter of time before Blaize Falconburger does a report on it :P

It's similar, in some respects, to Chez Wilfred. We've got a roof and walls too.

Seriously. It looks fantastic.

And, after what they've done for The Stags, I don't begrudge the Radfords one bit. Good luck to 'em.

I take these kinds of home improvement tasks in my stride to be honest. It's a big reason behind why females have been happy to take houses off of me in the past.
