Small update,

a1ex2001 · 18 Nov 2015 at 15:01

progress, I love it when the plaster goes on finally starts to feel and look like you are really getting somewhere!

topgun06 · 18 Nov 2015 at 15:11

Yes! Have you done the plastering yourself?

Kimi · 18 Nov 2015 at 15:28

Thats awesome

Valo · 18 Nov 2015 at 15:30

That is looking great!

Plastering all sorted, very happy with the result

We fitted ducting for the kitchen extractor fan on the weekend, installed 150mm ducting through a solid stone wall.

I'm waiting for the fan and grille to arrive; I went with a Greenwood Elite 150 that has a humidistat and timer - What appealed to me about this fan was the electronic shutter to prevent drafts. I know most people think a cooker hood is suffice but I rather install an extractor fan with a humidistat for peace of mind which will take care of other small sources of steam such as the kettle, sink and oven if needed.

Things have escalated,

Someone came to my house just after Christmas and smashed in 4 windows and my back door. No attempt at breaking in, just a blatant and hateful message...

****s!!!!

Why? CCTV time

Fully star out swearing please.

topgun06 · 5 Jan 2016 at 12:58

Scumbags. The perpetrator(s) need culling.

Your CCTV not catch the act?

Man, nobody needs their backdoor smashed in at Christmas (well except maybe Olivia Munn).

Hopefully your CCTV caught said scumbag, and if this is still over the tile/brick dust incident from the summer then the guy needs filling in.

I'd be surprised if this sort of thing continues after you've moved in, that said be a treat to catch the knuckle dragger in the act one night...

Superb work you have done on your house. Great attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Shame about the vandalism. Scumbags.

Thats one mammoth renovation! I thought mine was a doer uper

Good job!

Looks like you are doing a lovely job mate - well done.

As for the vandalism.... jealousy drives people to act like idiots.

Hope the CCTV has got them and its a card you can play and maybe use to get things to stop.

Valo · 5 Jan 2016 at 20:17

Jesus! I'd be fuming if that happened to me :mad:

Hope the CCTV caught something. The work is looking great though :cool:

LeeUK · 5 Jan 2016 at 22:01

If someone did that to me I'd go round and smash their back door in and I wouldn't wait for the cover of darkness either.

What evil poo bags :mad:

Must be gutting for things like this to happen after putting so much effort into it.

I was going to say replace the glass with laminated to make it safer, but it would then cost more to replace if they do it again.
