Got any pics so we can do the whole 'Before and after' thing?
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

It's definitely a project by the look of your piccies. Have fun, it is very rewarding when you see all the bits coming together and it all starts to look like new again. Especially when you know that it was you that made it happen. :D

This one's a useful resource - S3 manuals just before halfway down the page - not Ltwt but the general mechanicals are the same principle  :wink:

Looks like a lot of the paint will come off with a steam cleaner.

If its a 3 bed with a drive and under stamp duty (120,000) send me the details and any photos. I am happy to look at anything. I am in nor rush to buy as I will have 80% of the capital for it soon anyway and a first time buyer so I can just sit back and wait for the right property to come along and yours could be it!
