Major update

Well as you will all know, the last few months haven't gone well but things are looking up - the builders have gone and we are close to choosing a new one to get the job finished. I didn't realise it was so long since the last update so I'll try and show what happened:


This is the start of the roof being opened up for the dormers -

And this is the inside starting to take shape:


And starting to take shape from the outside too. Unfortunately this is when the rest of the house started to get wet as they were incapable of sealing the hole - it was pretty horrific weather though but they still sould have been able to seal it.



This is the extension (garage) starting to take shape:


This is the rear dormer structure complete but covered to keep the rain out (badly but better than the front!)



This is the rear of the extension - looking in from the kitchen window


This is where the loft hatch used to be - now just a hole for the ladders between the new joists:



this is the roof trusses (which they built themselves to keep costs down) for the extension extension:



Preparations for the opening up for the stairs:


If you look just to the right of the tank you'll see where the velux window is going above the stairs.

hole for stairs:


And the remains of the old kitchen after it was demolished -


they dont make kitchens like that any more - took them ages to smash it up :D

I'll split it into 2 posts - dont want to spoil you too much!!!
