Well, there ain't much 'bring on the bling' in my house right now seeing as how we are bathroomless, life somehow isn't as sparkling as usual.

Life: My disastrous bathroom – Mr Moregeous strikes again
I should know when I ask Mr M to 'just sort something' that devastation occurs. Devastation in a good way, in that you have a clean slate to start afresh with, but his idea of taking wallpaper off is most mens back breaking work.

A grotty landlord bathroom gets the Moregeous treatment
The below images are from a 1930's semi, rented out for many years and in dire need of a refurb. Everything needed rethinking, especially when walls started to fall down. On their own. The bathroom was particularly bed, a combination of mould, deadly electrics and poor planning. The doorway was directly at the top of... Continue Reading →
Dressing an ex-rental kitchen: quickly and inexpensively!
I helped a friend / fellow landlord this week who is selling some apartments. They'd previously been rented out, and though in great condition, as you can see below, just didn't look very bright, cheery and loved for potential buyers. It's a tough market out there, with prices having most definitely fallen, so a small... Continue Reading →
