Owning your own home

Yeah, its a dodgy panorama hence all the distortion. Double glazing doesn't really bother me... it looks a bit naff but works.

There's a bit of a damp smell, which wasn't there before. I think its just the carpets though, and no-one has been there since June or something.
Our sofa will Just fit in the living room. Big it aint.

First time in my life I've had a garden. What do you do with these things?

Hot tub for sexy times.

Will our ghee and rice quagmire suffice?

These should clean-up nicely... right?!

Looks great! Congrats.

Decking, shed, BBQ, solar garden lights.

That looks like a good start! Nice job Nic!

It's really quite straightforward.

This looks amazing!
Pizza oven in the garden....

Ha! I'll post a pic of the garden in a bit... But of a shit-heap but there's certainly room for one. When it's less gross, you guys should come for burnt food.

I'm in. I want to explore the area in preperation for next move/retirement.

^ That looks like our kitchen.

This is the garden of the place we're buying:

Nothing for me to do to it :(...
Tempted to knock down the shed and put one of these in though:

Get rid of that lawn unless you want to spend most of your spare time in the summer mowing the fucker.

True... fake grass will solve it.

Do it. That shed looks perfect for Lan parties and Pizza.

Dayuum.

Plant it with a wild flower meadow. You only have to mow them once a year in late summer.
