For example at the moment I have completely gutted the bathroom of room 8 ie just bits of pipes sticking out of the floor at the moment (ie room totally not lettable) I am putting in an extra wide shower stall sliding door with all new sink and duel flush toilet lovely new tiles and lino. Majour work and a complete mess I am pushing my plumber (also my godbrother) to do it in a week and a half as if he does there is enough time to do the same in room 7 before we hit being fully booked again. We also have all the new windows comming in on the 21st feb so bedlam generally.
However room 8 I have decorated and new curtains this year as well as a new dressing table and King bed. However the carpet doesn't look so good was one that the previous people put in and the floor needs looking as it squeeks so when I change the carpet while it is up I will get Richard to sort it out.
However all the walls in this room are papered in Textured wall paper which is seen as really 80's and old fashioned and ideally would like to get it all off smoothed down and painted but it would have to be professionally done and will cost a fortune so am putting this off for phase two. But would it be better to put off seven and carry on with 8? Also I would really like to get room 1 redecorated as some
has pulled the wall paper (ie it has lifted and they have meddled with it) so now it looks shabby grrr there is always something falling off of something.
Think I am just going to steam clean the carpet in 8 and see how it looks for now..
