As of the 9th of October, I will be a proud no voting member of the home owning democracy. I will get the keys next week. Hopefully there won’t be too much damage from the four current/soon to be ex tenants.  The Bat Plan:
Make the place liveable. currently there is no living room, just two rabbit hutches side by side.  The heating is sub-par, the double glazing is rotting (hurrah for uPVC eh?) and there is no TV.

before we can move in I need to:

• Get electrician to replace the fuse box, and other nasties.
• Obtain permission from the Council to knock down the stud wall
• Install proper heating
• Install better hot water
• Lay cat6
• Get the phone line and internet swapped
• Remove the Carpets
• Remove the Stud wall
• Paint
• Lay new carpet
• Install new bookcase
• Buy a new bed
• Install TV/sofa combo
• Move contents from old house

So, about three days work, with tea breaks. Last time we moved t’other half suddenly became ill with the black death, leaving me and her dad to do all the heavy lifting.
