Strip out

Our good friends Nick and Zoe bought a flat above theirs in Kentish Town recently. Unfortunately it needed a bit of work doing to it. They’re going to get some builders in but I suggested we do the strip out instead of paying builders for it.

So Nick hired a van and got his brother George down from Glasgow for the weekend. A fairly long task list but we go most of it done in one weekend rather than two! Result.

We got the following done:

  • Kitchen stripped out, units, tiles, floor.
  • Bathroom stripped out, tiles and sink.
  • All built in furniture removed, the door to the living room removed.
  • All carpets and underlays removed.
  • All skirtings removed.
  • Plenty of wall paper stripped.
  • A fairly large hole made in the living room wall (my favourite bit) !
  • An enormous hardwood deck in the garden which had rotten in most places.

Excuse the rubbish pictures.
