Week 24 - Final knock through and some plastering

This is the new doorway to the gym and hopefully the very last thing to be knocked down. its great because you can really see the new layout and it is really starting to take shape. Thinsg are still very messy and extremely dusty but it is definitely coming together.














Yay, this is my new office almost plastered now and the new velux is in. The hole at the bottom is to some storage into the eaves, just needs the door on. Hopefully going to paint this at the weekend and the carpets have been ordered so will be in shortly. Absolutely can't wait!!

Week 23 - Flooring continues and last of the old kitchen comes down

The last of the kitchen wall came down finally so you can see right through to the gym. This is the gym!! Takes a little bit of imagination but we are going to mirror one of the walls, put a wooden floor and the wiring is in place for 6 spot lights. A stud wall needs to go up which will house the bank for the ovens and fridge freezer.






This is the hallway which looks a complete mess, we barrowed the last of the stone in phew so it just needs to be tamped down now. We also need to build some support for the stairs as the rest of the floor needs to come out. The house is really looking bare now as all the walls have been stripped and the first fix electrics is completely finished.

Week 22 - Back lounge solid floor and 3rd floor boarding

This is a picture of the 3rd floor, the builders still need to lay the floor boards and board it but it is going to be the bathroom on the third floor and it should be big enough for a bath, shower, loo and sink. It is taking some space out of my office but I think it is worth it to have a nicer bathroom. Builder reckons there is three weeks left but I am not so optimistic :-(

This is the back lounge where we spent last 2 weekends taking up the floor boards and barrowed in around 10 tons of stone (I wish I was exaggerating but my back, arms and legs tell me i'm not). It is not quite finished yet but is nearly ready for the concrete which should be next week and then we can lay the underfloor heating. YAY!! Also the first fix electrics is nearly fully completed and the plasters did a couple of days last week so definitely getting there.
