Im Dave, a once Leeds based Maker, who recently finished renovating the family home.
Its always been the dream to go mortgage free. So I sold up and put an offer on a neglected 4 bed, end terrace, in Blackpool.
With that house purchase falling through leaving us homeless for 4 months. We found another project house.
Join me as I start my new adventure. Only problem is!? Im now skint!

Making An Abandoned House Habitable In Under 5 Months - The Story So Far
Quick update for the followers new and old.
Since this process has dragged on and on. My finances have been destroyed. With the sale of our house being the entire funding for this dream. We decided to break the chain in order to not loose our buyers. Once we did that. We discovered via Facebook that the house we were trying to buy was being repossessed by the bank of the current owner.
With loads of legal issues there was no clear solution. We could have waited, but by this point, we had already been homeless for 4 months, 1 month more than planned. So we ditched the house we set our hearts on and snapped up another. This house was in a much worse condition. I had to get us moved in asap because I needed to get back to work.
4 and a half months later. We moved in.
A quick recap of some of the work I managed 2-3 days a week.
This House was not ready to live in so we had to get the basics sorted before we could move in.

Ep19: 8 Long Months But We finally Have A Space To Call Our Own / A Renovation Vlog
มุมมอง 2.8Kหลายเดือนก่อน
So it’s been well over a year since we started our journey. Selling our tiny shoe box size home in Leeds. With 20 left on the mortgage. Swapping for an abandoned 5 bedroom terrace house in Blackpool. After having the keys for 4 months we are about ready to move in. Finally it feels like we can get on with our lives. The house is nowhere near finished but the spaces we do have equal to the size ...

Ep17: Making This Blackpool Wreck Habitable / A Renovation Vlog
มุมมอง 1.2Kหลายเดือนก่อน
A little slow this week. A little reality check of things to come I think. It’s hard renovating a house with a toddler. Just an odd job week as I’ve been working with my sidekick all week Completely broke at this point. Finding it hard to stay motivated. But I can’t go back to work until we are in. So so close. Once the boiler is in and the hallways are clear. I would be calling it done. #home ...

SO its been its been a few weeks. Ive not stopped on the house but progress has felt too slow. With us desperate to fix our housing situation, nothing is quick enough. It feels like this was a little bit of a larger project than I could manage with a toddler. After a short break I've manage to regain some motivation. This is the results of 3 weeks. Well. Mostly the last few days. Thanks to Lasg...

Ep13: Renovating an abandoned Blackpool house / Putting some flooring down.

This week we finally got power back. After hiring someone new to do the job. It was done within the week. As long as any first fix issues I fixed. We also started getting some flooring down in the rooms we want to use asap. We are going to have to do most of the decorating once we moved in. I just don’t have the time to do the big important jobs as it is. #mortgagefree #restoration #diy

These videos are getting more and more rushed. The past few weeks have being very testing. All no fault of my own, but when things don’t go right, I seem to get all the blame. With the kitchen and now master bedroom being on the to do list. We will have to move in sharing a bedroom. This week has mainly been trying to keep the plasterers happy and getting some new pipes in for the hot and cold ...

Hectic week. The plastering of one room has given some well needed positivity to the constant destruction. That being said the first fix electrics is holding up everything at the moment. So I’ve spent most of my time doing first fix. Trying to get us back on track. I did neglect to film my first fix adventures. Here’s everything else I’ve been up to this week. #renovationproject #renovationjour...

I have had to take time off work to work on the house. It’s the only way to get some serious progress. But the lack of funds doesn’t help. It’s a painful cycle. Doing my best this week to get as much done as I can to get plaster ready. Only thing holding me up is the first fix electric. #renovation #diy #mortgagefree #project
