Owning your own home

Nice - thanks.

Possibly a little over-ambitious for what we have in mind - I'm thinking of keeping all remaining external walls in place and just slapping a roof and door in place, and making it weatherproof.

I'll give them a call in any case - We can't be the first people that want to make use of a bit of space on the cheap.

If you don;t mind me asking, how much did a side return set you back? The house we are buying has one, but it is very tatty and is one of the things we know we need to work on - would love to have an idea of the costs involved.
