Bank View: The Cellar Project (2004)
I bought my flat in November 2001. It was a one bedroom Victorian conversion, from one large house now divided into two. My flat was the ground floor which had an external access to a cellar storage space. This was extremely damp and everything rotted away in no time at all.
I converted this cellar into a habitable space by tanking it, putting in a drainage system, learning how to plaster, and designing the whole system by myself. The only services I contracted out were the electrics and bringing the concrete for the floor.
