I haven't posted on this much recently but we're still doing stuff.
When we moved in the bathroom was a split toilet & shower/bath.
That's a wall dividing them. When we moved the bathroom to a different room as detailed previously on this thread:
we got them to smash up this wall, get rid of the old fittings, go back to brick and replaster, but was it. That was mid-2018 and we hadn't touched it since.
That recently got a new window, painted and carpeted and serves as an office now:
The other thing that's going on is our bedroom is being gutted. Unlike the lounge, there's no skimming the plaster up here, it's another back-to-brick job.
Also my fireplace work is pretty much done:
I'm on about my fifth trip to the tip so far and also managed to find a new home for a set of wardrobes. No skip required as yet though.
Aside from the basics of replastering this room, other things that are due to happen this year, mostly with trades rather than DIY:

Aside from the basics of replastering this room, other things that are due to happen this year, mostly with trades rather than DIY:
- fix the leaking leading on the roof at the front
- repoint the whole front of the house
- get some handdrawn tiles made for the fireplace
- get a cast iron radiator for the bedroom
- parquet floor for the bedroom
- fitted wardrobes
