lovely job btw...whats your next project

As well as running Bagpuss Antiques and Man-About-The-House we are also seasoned property developers. Here is the worst and most fabulous house we've ever tackled. A Victorian Town house of odd proportions and shapes, it stood over three floors. It was so bad that we had to remove all internal walls, all plaster, both staircases and start from scratch. Please enjoy the transformation.For pics of the whole project follow this link:- Glenview Road Refurbishment

Just in the middle of plastering our bedroom in our 3 bed Vic terrace,most of the plaster fell off so most was bare brick. I've already done the other 2 bedrooms+ landing+ stairwell .We're currently sleeping in the living room. As soon as we've done this its the bathroom next. We moved in last Aug, it needed rewiring+ new gch + windows. We're hoping to get the whole house ( inc kitchen)done for about £30k.

We are doing a similar project and are a few months down the line from you - our builders start on site on Monday. Your architect can tell you what to focus on first but ours told us the first decisions needed (after the structural layout) are: - glazing ie any sliding or bifold doors or special rooflights or windows, choose where you are getting them from and be ready to order - kitchen, choose supplier and decide on layout so you know where plumbing and electrics are needed - plumbing layout, so think about where radiators or UFH will go, your bathroom layouts, plus any kitchen/utility plumbing. - electrical layout, where do you want lights and sockets (this means you need to know where your furniture is going!) - choose bathroom sanitaryware, as some of this has to be installed pretty early - choose floor finishes ie the exact tiles, wood etc you want - they need to know the thickness to make sure they can get the finished floor levels to match up. (carpet is not so urgent) I would recommend getting on with these decisions as soon as you can especially if you want to have time to shop around.
