Been a while since I updated this. Start with the kitchen. When I last updated this, the back of the house looked something like this:
At this point, the roof is whole (but a bit tired).
The next stage was to take the roof off:
The room you're looking at is the old utility room. At this point, the old boiler we had with the house was still running, and that wall with the ladder against it still divided the old kitchen from the utility room.
Next step was roof on. We're going for a sort of semi-vaulted thing in what is going to be the breakfast area of the new kitchen. We're keen to let as much light in as possible. So the roof has 2 Velux windows in it. Also we're fitting the largest practical bi-folds we can find into the front (or back!) wall. We've also made the window aperture match the height of the new doors. And we've bricked up the old doorway (photo shows midway through).
This is what it looked like before:
This is the new roof from the other side. Bit boring really!
I suppose you can see the little boiler house is done - over on the right.
The next step was to remove the wall between the old utility room and the old kitchen.
There's another Velux window in the picture over on the right. That's what we're using as the kitchen at the moment.
Another pic, a bit closer - save you zooming on the last.
And then the next wall, between the old kitchen and the old downstairs loo/shower room:
This is roughly up to date on the kitchen - there is a bit more progress, but it still looks a mess!
