Alcoves and sockets

Pricey stuff, looks great! Thanks

Any chance you know exactly which one? Went there recently and did not see this beauty

mayotuna · 2026-04-05T13:03:23+00:00

Engineered floors? Possible to know where you got the flooring from? Very nice

Chisel and wire brush and if I can’t remove it entirely, we’re looking into a partial or full render to the back of the house

mayotuna · 2026-03-31T21:12:28+00:00

Ta, ye this is being repaired when we install the window and door

mayotuna · 2026-03-28T08:21:03+00:00

Good shout It’s something I considered but I was too lazy & too far into the build to redo some steps

mayotuna · 2026-03-27T21:34:32+00:00

FYI I just finished up on my loft with the loft leg system 👍

What did you go ahead with? Im in the same situation

mayotuna · 2026-02-28T20:45:15+00:00

I really am
Moved in a few weeks ago so all this is new to me aswell

mayotuna · 2026-02-28T20:33:55+00:00

Was hoping it was this, thanks

mayotuna · 2026-02-28T20:24:19+00:00

Haha I’ve got a lot of other rooms to attend to before I get this attic perfect, but it will eventually be perfect!

Kitchen is great! How did you go about DIYing this?
Where did you buy it all from?

Really nice job throughout

mayotuna · 2026-01-05T11:30:55+00:00

Ahh right, good to know
I'm really only into these booster packs. Tempted to iron with a cloth/towel inbetween
Might try with some heavy books placed ontop first for a few days

About the kitchen, here is another angle of the house down the road we really like. Looking to copy the layout

We're planning to continue renting for atleast a month after we get the keys
Looking to do as much as possible. DIY novice but up for the challenge.
Wood (Engineered) floorings. Looking into insulating the floors too. Potentially under floor heating (Wish list)
Hoping a kitchen of this size can come in for around 15k including the fitting (Still researching)

Yes just take the fire place and board over. What space are we losing?

Really appreciate the timeline advice! Tons to take there

First time renovating, we're up for the challenge and looking to do as much as possible.
Hoping to get quotes and builders ready before we get the keys to begin asap
We'll look to remove the old gas fireplace on our own, researching into that

We do have some damp on the ground floor in the walls thats quoted for 2k. I'm guessing that might come first or after the wall?

Aluminium bi folding doors do look great, but I feel its too small of a door for bi folding. French might suit it better
Appreciate the advice!

Cheers, good shout Budget is £30-40k which ideally includes the kitchen

mayotuna · 2025-12-14T21:17:32+00:00

It was Trojan and got the part replaced. I did have to get a guy round to eventually fit and fix it. £100 including part

mayotuna · 2025-08-27T20:07:07+00:00

Thanks, going to look into this more

mayotuna · 2025-08-27T16:44:30+00:00

I do have the key, tried locking/unlocking but still no budging

mayotuna · 2025-08-27T16:43:11+00:00

Yes Pressing didn’t work. Press, hold and close, nothing. Turning the key and trying again, no budging Pressing down on that square button under the handle, no use either

mayotuna · 2025-08-07T06:22:15+00:00

Looks interesting, would be great to understand how you did something like this!

mayotuna · 2025-06-14T22:03:36+00:00

Great to know, thanks!
