untill i bought my house in 99 (one bed , timber framed shed!) got a builder to do ground work and structure,cost £35000 for two sided extension, since then i've had to finish it off, never done any thing like it before!! i do gas work and a bit of plumbing so got around that bit, and now i tackle anything
made a 1 bed in to 3 bed, new kitchen/diner, bathroom, completly refurbished inside and out, proud at the moment still got a bit of work AND more than double the value already!!! (paid £30k for house spent say £40k extra to date)
anyone can do it, pleased you tackled it mate, saved you alot of dosh
