Well sometimes you can spot a DIY paradise before you even enter the front door and sometimes you can't. Luckily this is only a flat because if he had a house feck knows what the outside would look like pmsl.

Pics of flooring to hall, lounge, kitchen. also an **** attempt at fitting a kitchen. I did his daughters bathroom earlier this year and her kitchen last month and so luckily he got me to do the bathroom in his flat.

I haven't a clue why people try to do what they haven't got the skill to finish to a good standard. Looked at a house to buy a few days ago and all the dodgey DIY in that one would cost about 30K to put right, so funnily enough we declined to put an offer in for it.
