Ormston's renovation project

Ormston · 09-04-14, 03:59 PM

Starting this project thread to cover all aspects of our renovation project instead of littering other threads with snippets of what we're up to.

My wife and i purchased a 1955 brick built house in need of complete renovation in july 2012, we moved into the house in november 2013 still with much(years)work to finish.

As this is a home we intend to stay in for many years i intend to do everything possible to reduce running costs without compromising on comfort.

Whilst i'm classing this as a DIY project, that may be stretching the truth a little.
I'm a certified electrician although i mostly do industrial automation and control systems.
My dad is a semi retired plumbing and heating engineer and i have uncles who are builders.
