Hello, I’m Clodagh

I bought a small Victorian terrace in Cork with a damp back room, a bare hallway and a kitchen nobody had touched for forty years. I had painted a few rooms before, and nothing more. I started with one scraped ceiling and learned the rest one job at a time, after work and on Saturdays.

What I found is that most advice is about a single job, and what goes wrong is the order. If you plaster before the pipes are tested, you open the wall again. So I film each job as I do it, and I put the jobs in the order that worked. I do the scraping, the plaster, the paint and the floors. The gas, the wiring and the pipework I book a registered electrician and plumber for, and I say so in every video.

What I sell are the plans I made for myself: a plan for each job, a spreadsheet for the costs and two video courses. The videos are free. The rest is there so your own house goes in the right order.
