.........to a new house, finaly decided to get onto the property ladder.

this has all come about due to some unfortunate sercumstances, some you may know that my nan past away boxing day last year and to add to other things that were going on in my life and i had a mental brake down (come on bring the jokes:biggrinjester:)
while ive been off work sorting myself out 1 of my issues was were i live and believe you me its now become and absolute sh1t hole, lets put it this way i have bombers living in my area.
so to add to my stress i aplied for a morgage and to my supprise i was granted one so in may me and the miss's went house hunting and we are moving out of Birmingham upto wolverhampton.
we did have a bit of an argument about what we were looking for, she wanted a 3 bedroom house, i didnt car about how many bedrooms i just want a garage and a big garden.
we have bought a 3 bedroom semi detached house and here it is


has a conseratory on the back



big ass garden, garden goes back about another 6/7meters from the grass line as that part is full of weeds, this is were paul will be helping lol


and this is my garage, i have got plans to build a 2 car garage and a area for a workshop at the back but that build wont be till next year.


sign the paper work at the end of the week and hopefully move next weekend, wahoo
with doing this over the last few months has really helped me get my motivation back and has been the catalist for me to sort myself out.

No more spray painting in the kitchen or bathroom then???

Looks really nice, enjoy the DIY

Looks awesome, Good for you

PS

Just think of the size of a train track layout you can have now! Best dig out that Crocodile Dundee knife and start building

Well done Al, really pleased for you.
I'd love an older place that we can do "our" thing with, new builds don't let you do that really.
Looks like a cracking garden too
A double height garage with a four post ramp will look the nuts there

happy days, really pleased for you mate and looks like you have plenty of room and more importantly room for cars and stuff
me and my mrs lived in a flat for a while quite a few years ago and it done my head in.

Ha ha ha re the train track and croc dundee knife, can just see Bart doing this that's the scary thing.

Great news mate and good to get on the property ladder.

Can only sympathise with the neighbours thing, we had a mum and daughter who were 40 odd late 20s who were as quiet as a mouse and they have moved out and in moved a young couple of early 20s (whose parents bought them the house). Since then we have been woken up at 2am a number of times with shouting, screaming, banging around downstairs, banging around upstairs (if you know what I mean! More noise than Jenna Jameson!), doors slamming etc. It has taken the shine off our house and the longish term house we have will most likely be changed sooner if it continues as its got us both down. I am sitting here at 5:30 and all I can hear are the doors banging, have no idea why !!!

Anyway nice house though mate and yep agree with Russ that you will no longer be allowed car parts in the house or on the few occasions they are allowed in it won't be for long !!!

more cars is the plan as at some point there will be 3 cars in the garage over the winter, my GT, brothers xr4x4 and the race car.
