Thanks for that Ross. I'll have a look at the sites and see they're like. We've got secondary glazing because the previous owner complained about the noise when the large roundabout was built at the end of York Street and Folkestone Road. But it's ugly and old now. I'd rather invest in something to make the house look nicer.
It's not like I want to paint the house pink with green spots or something horrible like that. Hmmm, pebble dashing to hide the cracks?
The owner in the 1960's was a total bodge-it-and-run bloke by all accounts and totally ruined the place. I just want to put it back to being a nicer house. When Reg lived next door he used to regale me with tales of this bloke and his botched attempts to "modernise" the house. I could go on for hours about the "interesting" pipework in the basement and how half my internal walls are made of hardboard. He was obviously very creative but also very rubbish
