[quote][i]Originally posted by Pop[/i] Time for a bit of an update. We've decided to not do the side extension as it's just not worth the money; however, we will be converting the garage as well as extending the length of the kitchen. The next mortgage has been arranged and we are in the process of applying for the additional funds needed. We have chosen our builders and the work is currently due to start mid-July. As we are converting the garage we needed to get a shed. With my wife away on a hen do it gave me plenty of time this weekend to build it. To be honest it was easier than I thought it might be. All the kit ready to go...
