you know before the TVR goes can i have another special weekend with it?

Gav · 28 January 2009, 11:03

Are you lending the TVR out Adam??

500 · 08 February 2009, 08:54

Sorry Ste/Gav, not sure if I will tax it again before it goes as I won't be able to resist the itch myself and we know how reliable they are! It'll get minted and advertised

Ok, time for some more pics, I know it's been a while!

It's still not finished but it's getting there, mainly been getting my stuff in it to clear the house out. We have lights but no sockets or water on yet, these should be sorted by easter though

sorry for the bubbles on the pics, It was very cold and my phones camera must be steamed up on the inside

The loft..

Tidy wiring?

2nd car is in

getting levels semi-sorted

jaytc2003 · 09 February 2009, 13:07

looking good

For your toilet I am assuming its a dual flusher? Did you get this seperate or was it complete with the cistern? Reason I ask is that one our ours has broken and it looks identical to the one in your pic and we cant find a replacement anywhere, even the house builder is struggling to locate one

500 · 09 February 2009, 16:27

Cheers jay

Toilet is kind of D/F, press quick single, hold for a complete flush.

PM me a pic of yours (internally) and whats broken, I should be able to sort somthing, alternatively, just buy a new flush mech and button, most are universal

moneys · 09 February 2009, 23:44

looks good mate, is the first fix in on all the wiring?

500 · 10 February 2009, 07:52

Ta ste, no, only electrical work done at the moment is the lighting, you are more than welcome to come and do some though

cheers will take a pic, I did buy a complete mechanism as visually it was the same, however come to fitting time and it was totally different and wouldnt fit, nothing else even came close

Cheeky bu66er!!

I've lost all that weight again now.

**p1prodrive** · 18 February 2009, 20:35

iam having a twin garage built soon and was wondering what was the cost of the garage alone, not inc your garden/driveway.

keep up the progress....worth it in the end.

500 · 19 February 2009, 07:24

I budgeted for 10-11k and we're at 12k with whats done up to now and I have all the stuff to finish the electrics, I'd probably add around 5-8k in labour if you aren't doing it yourself and pay full price on the materials.

Jamz_ · 19 February 2009, 13:35

Looking good... i wish i had space to do this

moneys · 18 April 2009, 00:15

500 · 18 April 2009, 14:58

Not Completely Ste, I've just been using it as it is for now

Give me a shout if you need any advise

cw42 · 06 June 2009, 01:15

Thanks for the heads up on the thread Adam, I really should come on here more often

Place looks a little different since I saw the hole in the ground last year? (maybe the year before?)
