List of works / to do before start.... what have i missed?
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2017 3:04 pm
Hi there!
I am a complete newbie, just bought a house and we are doing it up at the moment. I'm setting up with my brother. We have decorated and our beds and mattresses have arrived. Our start up loan is coming through on Monday and hopefully we'll be ready to go before Christmas...
Please can you have a look at my 'to do' list and let me know if you spot anything I've forgotten to do?
Thank you!!!
