Throwback to that time a naughty tenant destroyed my house, allowed asbestos and rubbish to be tipped on the drive in exchange for drugs, then it kept getting flytipped by other people, kids breaking in and starting fires in the garden for the fire brigade to put out…. yayyyy…

Monday so far, and it’s not even noon…

November already… time flies… Two months left to achieve everything you said you wanted to achieve this year… how close are you?! 🤔

There’s some absolutely TERRIFYING things happen in the world of property! Here’s a collection of the most scary things I’ve experienced, some Halloween Horrors of Property - click the link to enjoy! 🎃👹👻 kellyannmartin.co.uk/2019/10…

Went to a property networking curry last night and had a lovely time… even though the lovely people I met wanted to talk about property! 😆🧱🏚️ I’m an only child, and spend 95% of my work / time / life alone. So sometimes it’s nice to meet up and be sociable! 😅

Kitchen acquisition for the project today, after two weeks of mulling over styles, doors, colours, cabinet prices etc from a whole range of trade counters. Here’s the kitchen ‘before’… before we destroyed it, that is! 😆 So today: final decision, order, and part with money! 😅

You might not know this, but I have a scar above my eyebrow from sticking a wallpaper scraper in my forehead, aged about 7...

Before I bought this latest house, I reckon it had sat empty for at least a year. And despite airing it thoroughly for days, I’m not happy with the damp feeling when I go in the house. So will use a combination of this dehumidifier and heating on to draw all the moisture out.

All the roofing and fencing companies today after the weekend’s storms…. 😆 No reports of devastation and destruction as yet from my own portfolio, so fingers crossed I’ve got lucky! 😅🤞🍀

The electrician has been hard at work at my project this week. He’s been swapping lights, installing a mains powered smoke alarm, swapping naughty outdated things like this socket, and installing panel heaters. Property now all safe, legal and compliant electrically 😁⚡️💡

Today’s fun and games involves me trying to order fire doors, and not being able to decipher my own handwriting, nor trusting my own measurements when they didn’t exactly match the joiner’s… Lessons learnt: measure twice, and write in your nicest bestest handwriting! 😆✍🏻📏

This week I have been in Malta, ticking off a bucket list item: see Popeye’s Village! 😆🇲🇹 Barely thought about my project whilst on holiday because we were that busy sightseeing 😎 And now this morning I’ve woken up at 6am scouring the internet in a refurb materials frenzy! 😆

Another delightful design flaw, check out this sink obstructing the access of this supposedly disabled access toilet! Even I had to squeeze in to use it! Remember folks: prior planning prevents piss poor property performance!

Spot the mistake… Little naughtiness I’ve seen in this property to start the day, you can’t do that!! 😱 Planning of electrics and water and gas and how they intermingle with each other can be detrimental to health and safety! 😬⚡️💦🔥⚠️☠️

Anybody could do property, in theory… but doing property well is another matter! There’s no point having a portfolio that doesn’t perform well and bleeds money. I have invested heavily in my property knowledge and education through superb UK training providers.

Ohhh you know you’re starting to get attached to your project when you check it over at the weekend and think “Maybe I’ll move in here…” 😬😖😆

My friend gave a talk on customer service this week, and I mentioned this... When I picked up the key to my latest project, it was in this cute little housed-shaped box, which was a nice touch that I’d never seen before. 😊

One of the least glamorous jobs that pisses me off when you get a new property is nearly always this…

Today is the first birthday of my beloved dog Jerry Lee, since he died in May. Here he is with his favourite spiky balls, which still adorn my living room… turns out there’s no timeline for grief - although grief is definitely the price you pay for love. 😔🐕❤️

It’s not often I ever want to get my hands dirty on a project, but yesterday I had the urge, I was in the zone, I was on fire, baby! 🔥 So removed some carpet and wall units and smashed off some tiles, and amazingly only hurt myself a bit once! 😁 ROCK N ROLL, BABYYYY!! 🙌💥
