£6250 to get 3 sets of wooden casement/awning windows refurbished and original (1900's) glass replaced with some more energy efficient stuff. Ouchee.
Should make the place a lot warmer though, the rest of the windows are horrible double glazed uPVC things, or recently renovated and draught-proofed wooden sashes.
Stuff on the list (most of it probably never going to happen and, if anything does, it'll be years):-
More than likely I'll just find a good time to repaint a couple of rooms myself (daughter's room and hallway) and find a good network-aware thermostat for the hallway. Ah, and finish hiding some mains cable in the kitchen from where I removed the breakfast bar. Hmm, and the shared (with the flat above) front door needs stripping and repainting. Daughter will be busy with me come the summer holidays.
8 years in this flat and we've redone a spare bedroom (ceiling repair after leak, new carpet, redecorate), sitting room (new carpet, redecorate, sash window refurb), bathroom/toilet (complete revamp after flood from above) and daughter's bedroom (new carpet). Luckily the <£5k MFI kitchen that was there when we moved in is holding up nicely.
