It's what dreams are made of and nightmares kindled: Most home owners aspire to it; some take a few tentative steps and fewer still are crazy enough to go the full hog! This blog shares some of the trials and tribulations of a major redevelopment of a 1950s home through a cataclysmic transformation which retains the best of the last Century while metamorposing the property into a design classic fit for today's living.

WEEK 44 - A blog milestone (Delay = 28 weeks)

While the completion of the project itself is up in the air, we've hit a significant milestone with the blog. Some eleven months after kicking it all off, having reached 26,000 words across 174 posts, the number of users checking out the blog has reached 1,000. It's developed a solid following and, while a large number of hits can be tracked down to the sunny shores of Costa Blanca, the blog has attracted readers from pretty much every corner of the world. What it's doing to the aspirations of individuals looking to develop their own homes it hard to gauge. However, it's certainly offering a reality-check for "would-be" developers.
