This week the electricians spent Tuesday doing the “final fix” for the kitchen and bathroom, and they removed the old electric boxes and installed a new up to date one. I quoted final fix because they need to return to do a few more items. For the last few months, ok longer than a few […]

Plans do not always go smoothly

email@katherinedavison.co.uk — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 19:32:33 +0000

I am a planner, I like to get items in the diary with a little contingency. Sometimes even that does not work and you have to be flexible and think of alternatives. Problem is that when you ask builders and installers how long things take, they conscience ones don’t want to commit because they don’t […]

Preparing to live without hot water heater or tank

I am excited about a cement floor

House layout – getting what you want, or not…

email@katherinedavison.co.uk — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 14:12:00 +0000

Like a lot of people I love viewing houses. Seeing what the layout it, how it is decorated and features within. Space saving ideas can be found or layouts you love, and layouts you hate. Each house I walked though I thought about how I would change it, what parts of the layout would work […]

Buying a home that needs updating

email@katherinedavison.co.uk — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 12:32:20 +0000

There are choices when buying a home, you can buy one that is a bit cheaper and needs some work or pay a bit more for one that is ready without any updates. When I was looking to buy I could not find one in my price range that did not need updates. Most homes […]
