Thanks. It's West facing so the hallway in the evenings gets some great light. Now everything else looks even shitter in comparison, I'm hoping it's a motivator to do more stuff. Still waiting for the survey/investigation work for the rendering and general exterior tidy up. The weather has not be helpful. Then a tidy up of the woodwork of the porch too. But the rendering is pretty high priority, just have to get some one to do it.

I remember the day we finished with removing pebbledash, new front garden, path, fence etc - the sun was shining and the gaff looked totally different. Once it all comes together it will be mint but I wouldn't stress too much about it as generally you want to get your internals sorted imo (unless leaks, damp etc)

Cheers. 50% of the rendering is to prevent any damp problems. There don't appear to be any now that the roof and windows have been done, but I'd like it done before it gets to autumn/winter again.
