I’d post photos but for some reason it’s difficult on here as you can copy and paste them and I’m not technically minded.

A word of caution to anyone thinking of a renovation or a home extension, I’ve been massively caught out by the expense.

Taking a small dormer bungalow back to brick, building a three metre deep extension and putting on a new roof etc has cost a ridiculous amount of money.

I’m massively behind the 8 ball, it won’t be worth anything close to what it’s cost me.

If it wasn’t for the sentiment involved I wouldn’t touch another with a barge pole as things stand at the moment.

Wish I could show the progress on the “Black Hole” as I’m thinking of naming it!
Glad it's nearly done Mick , my mate;s said the same with regards cost of good builders and materials.
Years ago I fitted an alarm in a dormer bungalow , the owner brought it for the plot ,then demolished it and put a new build dormer in place .
They neighbours thought he had gone mad when he demolished ,but being a builder worked out quicker and was able to do do it to a far better standard .
