Where do we begin? Well it is 5 July and the builders moved in last Thursday. But don't get me wrong this wasn't the beginning maybe the end of the beginning.
The project started last November when we sold our 4 bed detached house and started looking for the house that would last us for the rest of our lives. Yes we've reach the age for downsizing. Who needs three spare bedrooms when no one visits!
We've decided to replace the plaster on the outside walls with insulated plasterboard. So this picture is of what was the headboard wall of the maater bedroom and the "Box Room". The pipe in the foreground is the stench pipe for the loo where the bathroom used to be!
I popped in today and most of the walls have gone I'm going back shortly to check if the guys have any questions as they mark out the new walls.
Let me know if you are interested in hearing the story to date. That might include deciding to sell and what to buy, our reasoning behind it all, architect or builder, what do we want,. what we can afford and how do we start.... Otherwise I'll just document the day by day, week by week progress!
Looks bigger already, best of luck, Richard (Building Solutions Midlands)
