Carpet Cleaning – is it worth it on an old grubby cream carpet? (before/after pictures to show you!)
13 years ago, we had an extension built. I was pregnant with baby no.3, we were running two businesses from home, and our tiny little 3-bed semi simply wasn’t big enough. And obviously it was cheaper to build more bedrooms than to move, so extend we did.
