Creating the Kitchen

The guys have been hard at work making good of the gable end, now that the chimney is down. The speed at which it has been happening has been quite astonishing too! After only two days we went from oil tarred stonework to this:



The bedding in looks great:


And if you hadn't known there'd been a chimney there 
I don't think you could tell now by looking!


The steels are in to support the weight of the wall:


And the block work has gone in to stabilise the new roof:


The tiles from the old utility roof have come down:



And the opening from the inside looks fantastic:


They've also been hard at it digging up the floor ready for insulation and heating. We weren't too sure what there would be under the suspect lino, but there were some fantastic flagstones waiting for us:


They need a bit of a clean up but we think they will look just great in the new conservatory 
(in a few years time....)


The salvage yard is filling up quite nicely now:


And it's great to see mother nature still making her mark in amongst all the chaos too:
