Hi all.  

Twenty years ago I bought a derelict bungalow dating back to the early 1900's, more or less knocked it down to the foundations and rebuilt it myself, learning to DIY in a truly epic and clueless Grand Designs "living in a caravan over winter with a pregnant wife" type way.  

Before I finally finished this place and got the skirting boards on, my family out grew it.  We couldn't afford to buy a more suitable, bigger house so started looking at other options.  After half a year I managed to buy a massive, half converted, derelict 200 year old Chapel... I guess this is the start of another journey of self discovery, madness and potential financial ruin for me

 

 

Welcome to the madhouse, you will fit in nicely. Seriously, good on you, lots of practical knowledge here from folk that have done it, we won’t all agree but we are a friendly bunch. Bring on the questions and we like lots of pics 👍
