A Victorian terrace street at dawn

About me

I bought a tired Victorian terrace with a damp hall, a kitchen from the eighties and wallpaper on top of wallpaper. I had never done more than put up a shelf. So I decided to learn by doing one job at a time and filming each one.

Every video is a single job: what it was, how long it took and what it cost, with the receipts added up at the end. I get things wrong and I show that too. I do the work myself, slowly, at weekends and in the evenings, and I keep the numbers honest.

What I sell is the paperwork I wish I had at the start: a plan for each job, a cost tracker and two video courses. I do not sell tools and I do not take on work for other people. I show you how to do your own.

A short letter every Sunday: what I did on the house this week, what it cost and the small job I left undone.
