We bought a small ex-council terrace 10 years ago, moved in a small touring caravan in the front drive, stripped the house back to bricks and woods and set off from there on the DIY adventure of a life time. Finally moved in 8 years later after the final paint party with friends. Many professionals and unevenly knowledgeable friends have helped along the way, including very patient carers and utterly forgiving neighbours.

 

Hi DaveAndAnnaUK, sounds like an interesting story. I used to work on Portland so I'm well versed in the idiosyncrasies of life on the isle.

Hello.

What can I say, sounds an achievement. Have you got my old employers to do a write up about it. Kind of thing they like.

I used to have a place in Weymouth, sold it before the Olympics (but never thought they would go there).

One day I will walk the complete length of the beach.
