The finished lounge upstairs apartment Station Road West. Do you recognise the colour scheme and the furniture? Compare it to the same room shown 12 photos below (it had a fridge in it then).

One of the finished bedrooms at Station Road West. 

One for Charlotte - the view from our kitchen window. 

This is what we have done to the bottom flat at Station Road West. 

Oh check out the wallpaper and the green cupboards. 

A view of our "lounge". We have been in the house for 6 days now. There are no carpets, except for the rug we put down over the lino, the heating/hot water system is not functioning properly and Julie is cooking on a cooker we found in one of our other purchases. We are living in a tip and our tenants are living in the lap of luxury. Hhhmmmmm. 

This is our "dining" room. Note the lovely wallpaper and the heating vents from the no-longer used forced air heating system. The designer furniture adds a nice touch. The 60's lampshade is priceless and shortly to be sold on e-bay. Any offers? 

Canterbury - 26th April, 2006

Just don't know how we do it.

We took possession of St. Peter's Street at 10:22am today and the tenant moved in at 5:00pm. The place was transformed into a serviced apartment in less than 7 hours.

Previously (on 24), we took 40 days (and nearly 40 nights) transforming Station Road West into 2 serviced apartments. Both these apartments were occupied over the weekend and we are now hosting 10 people for a 3 week period. We have other bookings too but I now need to concentrate on marketing. You will see why if you look at www.canterburyservicedapartments.co.uk.

On top of all this, Julie has a job and we have had the boys on half term and we have moved into our own house, which as you can see from the pictures, needs to have the treatment done on it.

When we moved in we discovered rats. Not proper ones but fancy rats. The boys were promised a "pet" and now they have one (2 actually).

They are just such cool ski bums.

Daddy under the peak of Mt. Blanc. We had a great week skiing except for a final day fall by me that left me hobling.
