Taking stock

Well the house is now ours. It is time for us to begin work on it but where shall we begin, and what is reasonable timescale for us?

The Office

This room was set up as a fully functional office with telephone and internet connections. We also asked the owner about the telephone; because this was an essential item and we knew people in some areas had waited a long time for 'telephonica' to provide a line. We were shown the connection to the telephone line and two telephones both functioning. Well at least that was straight forward.

The original kitchen

This is the original kitchen, the units were long past their sell by date. The taps and some cupboard doors were broken. The old fashioned tiles made the room dark and un-inviting and the whole room was pretty squalid.
