More pictures from 'getting stuck in'

As promised, here are some more pictures associated with the previous post!

The kitchen minus the units & sink - vast improvement!

Under the stairs will make some decent room for the washing machine, hoover (vacuum), laundry pile, jackets, shoes etc

The second chimney before it came down

Smoother finish on wall and opened the area up a little, yet to skim the plaster board

What the chimney in the front room now looks like - unfortunately the brackets couldn't be hidden any more than this.

Front Bedroom, newly plastered walls

New doorway in the front bedroom - much neater!

Getting stuck in...

Whilst we are waiting for the planning application to be approved we have started doing as much as we can inside the house so that once the permission comes through, we can get cracking straight away on the extension.

So the crumbling plastered walls that were being held up by the 4 layers of wallpaper and paint have come down. As has the two downstairs chimneys to allow extra space in the front lounge and the bathroom. Upstairs, the front room has been completely replastered and is almost ready for painting, coving and skirting boards which should happen next week.

A pictures tells a thousand words right? So here you go...
