getting a cheap kitchen, and just sprucing the place up, kind of had to paint the exterior as the paint had started to peel after the frosts. Had to replace the sofits and guttering etc... as the wood was b*ggered.Originally posted by alreadypacked View PostDon't spend too much money, you will end up doing it all again when you come back.
