[quote][i]Originally posted by Pop[/i] Update time again... The building work starts tomorrow, so there are going to be lots of progress pics! We confirmed with the builders a couple of weeks ago that the work was going to start on the 7th July. Since then we have been clearing the whole downstairs of our house and garage. The shed and conservatory are now full of stuff, with some over spill into our spare bedrooms. The garage started like this... [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1336_zpsd131bcaa.jpg[/IMG] And now looks like this... [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1399_zps198c61ea.jpg[/IMG] The builders sent their brickie round during the week to get a match. They don't make the bricks anymore that our house was built with, so he matched it as near as he could get. To be fair the match is pretty close and with a bit of weathering won't really be noticeable I don't think. [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1397_zpsbaf1c89e.jpg[/IMG] Now for some before pics. The outside of the house... [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1401_zpse7ef6fbc.jpg[/IMG] The hallway which is being extended to meet the front of the garage... [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1400_zps50319a9e.jpg[/IMG] The downstairs toilet which is rarely used at the moment. This will become a shower room and also house the washing machine and tumble dryer... [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1396_zpsd375dd97.jpg[/IMG] The current lounge which is being made smaller in lieu of a longer kitchen... [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/SDC10530.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/SDC10532.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/SDC10523.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/SDC10524.jpg[/IMG] Last but not least is the kitchen, which cannot be described as modern in any way! We think it may be the original 1970's kitchen, the boiler is definitely original. We've been keeping our fingers crossed that the boiler wouldn't die over winter and thankfully it didn't! (The gap under the counter used to house the dishwasher but that got picked up the other day) [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1402_zps731c972b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1404_zps1855ef1b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b31/english_tim/House%20Extension/IMG_1403_zps5230ce2b.jpg[/IMG] We've been living with the kitchen since we bought the house 5 years ago and I think it will be the biggest change out of everything we do in this project. Roll on the chaos and dust :lol: [/quote]
