1938 Thought we'd stopped buying things that need fixing!

[Jaeger_S2k]

Hi,

We bought a bungalow that needs a bit of work!

But we had a good idea of what was wrong. It's damp, so it's either coming from above or below (I know there's through but not for this building).

 

Working our way through it but shocked at some of the workmanship, from the original build and the cowboys that botched money off these unsuspecting people.

 

More details will follow on better forums, so for now I'm 64 years young and on my last fix-me-up.

Oh, yes. I also want to build my garage from scratch on my own, yes, crazy is right!

 

Thank you to everyone who's contributed to this source, keep them coming.

 

Regards

 

Allan

Welcome to the forum.

I am wondering if it is possible to grow out of buying things that need "a bit of work".  I keep doing it, but I am a few years less wise.

 No. Not crazy at all. Unless I am too, but then I spend far too much time here and on my building site. Working on a 4.8m x 5m timber frame garage now to replace an old concretre section garage that has disintegrated. (Good job my TVR wasn't in there - I see you're local to the old factory)

 

Good luck with things and I look forward to seeing the details.
