At last, around 6 months after first looking for a new house we’ve finally moved. Even better, by the time I set-up the PC (a whole 4 days after moving!) broadband had been installed. I only needed 3 minutes of dial-up to get my new ADSL username etc and I was away. Kudos to Plusnet.
As for the house – superb – wish I’d done it years ago, but then I wouldn’t have had enough money to do it years ago. What I can’t believe is just how much there is to do in the house. Small jobs take forever. And I’m shit at DIY, although I’ve just subscribed to the uk.diy newsgroup…..as if that will help.
Even after a week I’m still surrounded by brown boxes – it’s going to take quite a while before we’re fully unpacked – months even! But I’m pleased with the chaos and the new house especially compared to the old place!
Of course, managed to install a new shower and replace a duff immersion heater after a quick shuffty at the relevant pages. Or you could spend a couple of hundred quid on a plumber/electrician/chippy/builder/decorator, it’s your choice.
I’m sure you won’t miss the 3 flights of stairs though! So does the book come recommended as you’ve already bought it?
Congrats on the move. Hope everything went smoothly. I’ll miss the old place 😉 As for DIY, my vast years of expereience tell me you need this book;

Simply the best.
