They are back........!

....and don't we know it.  Two days into the new year and things have really changed dramatically as demolition begins.  We have been busy clearing rooms and taking up old carpets ready for the knocking through of bedrooms - (all the old underlay is going to line our new pond under the butyl)

This will become part of the new master bedroom when knocked through to join up with some of the new build. 

The builders meanwhile have attacked the old laundry room and corridor all of which will become part of the new much larger kitchen.  The main trials are noise, dust storms and trying to keep the dog safe. The progress is great!

 

The old chimney breast below has to come out completely - it was where the original 
house boiler would have been housed. 

More walls to knock down in the next couple of days but the new kitchen should look great in this much larger open space.

New kitchen plan

In the meantime ... and for several weeks to come, we will be operating from this temporary kitchen in the dining room (microwave still to come) - CUTE!! - or maybe eating out quite a lot!

 

Temporary kitchen!
