It all started when i decided to tidy the loft up which kind of turned into boading all the loft out, insulating it, putting shelfs up and plasterboading it turning it into a workshop lol

Then i started doing the hallway which involved stripping all wallpaper and putting some new up.


After that i thought the front room needs a bit of tlc so i started to strip wallpaper, erm all the plaster fell off!! GULP!

OOOOOOOOOOps!! So i started to look at the tv and though i could stud wall it all out and play with my new first fix nail gun :) Which i shot myself with twice pmsl I made a shelf unit and sorted all the wirning out so i could have a pc power supply in there to power etractor fans to expell heat from the VU solo, the 2 xboxes in there, the amp, Blue Ray player and finally my Rasperry PI :) And i needed to get power to one of the xboxes as it has a 2tb internal hard drive in it which needs powering :)

That was after about 2 days, lots of plasters and a trip to A and E pmsl The trip to A and E was for me cutting the back of my hand open on a broken picture nothing to do with the nail gun before you say anything Berley pmsl

I made a little cubby hole so i can have the router and modem in there and also access to the wiring of the tv ect as i didnt want wires on show :)

All the LEDs run off the pc power supply i have in the cubby hole and i had to install another pc power supply as it wasnt powful enough to power the hard drive and leds and fans all at once lol Have got some spare ones kicking about so no biggie :)

Then i had a look at the windows which are old wooden sash windows which are going to be replaced soon as they are falling apart :( I just plasterboaded the walls around the windows so when the new windows get fitted i can just platerboad up to where i have already done, papar like the rest of it and job done. I got a sheet of mdf cut it into strips and went around the window just to cover the gap :) I quite like it and think when the new windos go in i will be putting something similar back up to add effect to the windows :)

Then i made a new computer desk out of mdf with a bit of worktop and made some shelves at the top with some led lights in just to add a bit of effect :)

You can laugh that did happen when i was trying to get in the loft without a ladder lol and it fookin hurt lol if you look at the picture of the stairs they hurt when you go down on your head pmsl

EDIT Thanks alan its getting there now its took a long time, money, blood and tears but been worth it :) Cost about ?1200 with the loft coversion i did (Which i will post some piccys tomorrow) the stairs and hallway which i totally gutted and all new LED gu10 bulbs through the flat :) I hate to think how much it would have been if i had to get people in to do it as ive been messing about with it for about 3 months!! Thats not full time though only weekends and nights after work but bet it would have cost a pretty penny or two!
