House
Builder has been there 10 days and look at the poor house!
This is a view of the front. There is no front door (was just beyond the garage), and there is a gaping hole where the front window used to be. This is going to become the new front door: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ber2010001.jpg Quick peek in the garage. Anne bought this Rayburn on ebay: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ber2010002.jpg There used to be a side porch that backed onto a downstairs loo, and the front porch was beyond that. You can now see all the way through. This is going to be the new utility room. The old one has disappeared: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ber2010003.jpg This here's a view from the kitchen (as was) through to the sitting room. There will be simply an opening between the two, as per pic. Note there is no kitchen ceiling. The wall was where Tony is stood, and everything is supported by pit props, a RSJ should have gone in there today. The old hallway is far too big, and we can move the kitchen wall about 2m to make a much bigger and more usable kitchen area: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ber2010004.jpg Here are the gypsy cranes ready to crank the RSJ into position: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ber2010008.jpg Told you there's no ceiling: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ber2010005.jpg Scaffold going up at the back so the joiner can take the roof off - should have happened today - to build a new dormer for a new bedroom in the loft: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ber2010006.jpg What the hell have we done: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ber2010010.jpg |
Re: House
I won'y show this to my wife, as she wants a bungalow. Although having seen the layout, I wouldn't mind something like this, as my garage is at the end of the garden.:smt013
It'll look nice when its finished Ed :p |
Re: House
Jeez!!! Should've just knocked the whole lot down and start again :)
Bet it'll look ace when you're done though. |
Re: House
It's odd... but I really really like your garage.
I think I have a thing for garages. |

Re: House
Looks good Ed, are you getting one of your mates to Tarmac the drive?
Pete ;) |
Re: House
Shame I don't live nearer Ed, I wouldve done the work for you and not needed the crane for the steel lol, I've put some monsters in with about 10 blokes helping instead ;)
Hope it all goes well. |
Re: House
Tarmac? No that's for other mugs:p
The steel is now in, what a beast. In fact there are two pieces. And the ceiling beams have gone now, and half the roof:lol: They can't knock any more down, there' ll be nothing left:smt120 Some new timber has gone in... but nowhere near inhabitable. We will be living in the caravan from this weekend till about the end of October/early November:smt120 |

Re: House
I bet his builders are paying for a grab load instead of a skip, it's cheaper but a lot of customers, especially if living in the house while works going on, don't like a huge pile of crap on their drive :(
In some circumstances, it's also double handling. |
