Off with the roof, down with the wall, up with the floor...

There's been loads happening with the kitchen recently. Now that the opening is all secure from the old chimney - things have really started to progress with the new part. 

It looks a little bit scary to begin with:


especially when viewed from above - eeeek! proper destruction:


But before long there are foundations going in:


Flooring laid:



A wall emerging:


Stone cladding on the surface:


And all the openings being made good:


It's great seeing the place come back together again! The oak should be arriving for the new roof trusses next week so I will update again when there has been a bit more progress there.

  1. It's a struggle to recognise some of these areas. Was this the small 'courtyard'? (Andy H)

    1. Hi Andy - this was the room that leads onto the small courtyard at the back (the scaffolding you see is sat in the courtyard) We accessed this room previously from a door in the old kitchen to the left of the the aga? it was the old utility space with the sink looking out into the courtyard/hole in the wall? The window and frame that you can see to left of the picture with the mixer in is the edge of the conservatory - I hope that helps orientate you!?
