Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
I present to you gentlemen the bane of my existence for the past 9 months, and the source of all my excuses. Got it appraised today, hope to list and sell it next week. Here are some before and afters of the exterior front and back.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Well done Sir!!
I know the feeling of home maintenance. You either gotta keep at it all the time or give it blocks of your time, but sadly it will always take your time. Looks good. As Don says, let's hope it moves fast.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
The property is listed on Zillow with all new photos inside and out. If you know someone looking to move to an awesome city, and want to live in a great part of town, point them in this direction. The address is: 972 E. 10th Ave, Spokane, WA.
Thanks for all the kind comments guys, it has been a long road to recovery for this poor house.

Any progress here? Not sure what your market is doing, but the UK market continues to be alive.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Two more great days together.
Doing all sorts of stuff. Yesterday was a trip down to Do er Castle, war tunnels and some Medieval castle sights.  One for the King of Selfies...... Dr Bompenstein.  Dover ferry harbour with France in the background, 20 miles away.     Down the tunnels into the White Cliffs of Dover.   A good time spent learning a bit about the history of the men saved and evacuated at Dunkirk

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
The Castle was very interesting.
 Once we got out the top it was time for a drink.  From Dover we went back to Whitstable Harbour to look for Fish and Chips for dinner.  They had just closed when we got there, however, a walk into town saw us sorted soon enough. An no, we did not go in for Pie and mash.  And we were not disappointed Cod and chips.  It seems food is playing a big Role in this trip. Today we had a few errands to run, but first on the agenda in Chatham high street was a real Full English Breakfast. Again, no complaints.  Done.  After this we went to a sports shop for McMurphy and his bride to buy some,comfy trainers as they will be doing a lot of walking. Followed by a trip up to Hempstead Valley Shopping centre for some more money spending, and a coffee. On a serious note, it's awesome to see these two still behave like kids after being together for almost 20 years.  Eventually home by 4pm. Had Mickey from next door around to arrange Taxi duties for tomorrow as I was headed over to Katy's place.  The cats are also very happy to have visitors to make a fuss over them. Animals are strange........ They know a good person.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
I said I would post up a bunch of food centred photos.
Monday we went into Rochester for the afternoon. Another good day. McMurphy outside my place, over the road.  In town.  Leaning shop.  Lunch.......   Renault 4  Still on Honeymoon 20 years later.  Rochester Cathedral. Seen from the Castle.  Medway River and Rochester Bridge.   Then a break to sit down and relax with a premium priced tourist beer.  Eventually back home we decided to do a quick little BBQ. My friend Kevin came over for a cuppa tea and to meet the visitors too.  Happy camper.  After dinner everyone faded and we all turned in by 10pm. Being a tourist, or the guide is hard work.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Tuesday night we wanted to go out for a steak, last meal together, in the end we changed our minds and went with a Chinese Buffet.
Turned out to be a good choice for us.   Back home after dinner, a,last beer, and of course Harley making herself comfortable on McMurphy. Both cats were extremely taken with him and Trish, alwaysna great sign.  This morning it was up before 06.00 as the visitors were off on the next leg of their European tour.... Taking the Eurostar train through the Chanel tunnel to Amsterdam and onward from there. Even this early in the day, the traffic can get to be a nightmare, thankfully we got to leave the motorway just before the actual snarl up.  Amazingly, they have been here a week already. It was a real,pleasure sharing time and travel with them Good byes said, it was off to get tickets to Europe. Easy as that.  I was back home before 8.00am Found both cats in the spare room where the McMurpys had kept their luggage while they stayed with me......  I guess they were also missing them already. I hope we get to see more of Europe through your eyes McMurphy.
