  • It's more just the order in which to do it.

    I'm thinking :

    1. New consumer unit doubled up with current one. Circuits are swapped/added as work progresses.

    2. New combo boiler/remove old storage cylinder/loft tank/reposition some radiators/get pipework rejigged.

    3. Plan and install kitchen, new sockets and lights.

    4. Plan and install bathroom.

    5. Other rooms. New sockets, lights, redecorate.

    6. Garden works (although I'd like to do landscaping over winter to have the soil read for spring).

    It's not going to be top line bespoke stuff. I've got a £10K budget and I'd like to have change out of that.

  • That should of been step 1 really...

    The biggest share will be kitchen and boiler but I have a gas engineer at work who can install and sign off. The kitchen will be IKEA carcases with upgrades to doors and worktop.

    The bathroom is a bit tricky. Ideally I'd love to lose the bath entirely and getting extra space and just have a great shower but buyer's don't like not having a bath. I'm thinking about a mini-bath/shower.

    Hopefully the only external trade I'll need is a plasterer.
