Hi, My name is Glyn and I live with Louise in one room in a house which needs more than a little TLC, not a totally unusual or unique story I guess, but its pretty unique for us as we have never owned a house or have any experience developing or building a property.

By setting up this blog I hope to achive several objectives (in no particular order), (1) help other people in the same situation, offering tips (that means ... learning by our mistakes, sometimes expensive!!!) (2) to update our family and friends on the progress of the house (i.e. when its safe to visit - we estimate taking bookings for 2010!!!), and (3) to keep a record of what we are doing and how we are doing it so the horror of the experience will never leave us!
