Beginning:
The Building Renovation
Hello and welcome to the website. My name is Stephen Taylor and in 2016 I bought a derelict shop at auction for £26,000 in Birkenhead, U.K.
Due to the amount of work that was necessary to renovate the building
my only option was to do the majority of the work myself.
The building was in such a poor state that the guide price at auction was just £10,000 - £12,000.
By using my 20 years of experience as a joiner, and with the help of a great group of professional local tradesmen I have managed to transform a commercial building that was ready for demolition into a modern four bedroom, two bathroom home.
I would like to share the renovation process with you from start to finish. The full video is above this description.
For more information about New Dawn Recordings please explore this website by clicking the menu button (the two white lines if you are viewing on a mobile) at the top right hand side of this page. You will then find other pages with information about the record label and my plans for the future.
I hope that you enjoy the videos and would love to hear what you think of the renovation. Feel free to leave me a comment on youtube and I would be really grateful if you can subscribe to the channel and share the video. My youtube channel is brand new and it will help the video to be viewed by as many people as possible.
If you are interested in finding out more about this project I also have a house renovation ebook for sale here on this website on my shop page. In this book I take you through the entire building process and share essential tips, tricks and information about the renovation that will be of great benefit to anyone who is thinking of buying a property that is in need of refurbishment.
I am now available for joinery work anywhere in the U.K, Ireland & Europe in 2023.
(For more information please view the joiner available page in the website menu).
Thank you for all of your comments and support!
Stephen
