    Ive started on the DIY again, pulling down the entire kitchen roof to locate a leak from the shower.

    I was hoping it would be a simple leak from the drain, but nope, its leaking from the shower water inlet which is in the wall…

    … at least I now know where the persistent mould is coming from. It smells so bad in summer sometimes. The whole house needs some TLC, but money is an issue

    Still, while I still have a job, I plan to sink every penny into the house to get it up to scratch. If I get laid off I might be able to rent a room

      You’re a braver person than me, I absolutetly hate doing DIY! I’m always terrified of causing irrepareable damage or killing myself.

        So was I, but then I witnessed “a professional” tracing a leak at my mum’s house, and watched them cover her entire front room with dust pulling the ceiling apart.

        Trust me once you pay someone do it once, and realize what shortcuts they take and what standard they work to, you become more than willing to have a go yourself.

        Cowboys. No exception!
