Bay window

As you can see, the bay is up to window sill level and the sides are coming. The room is the kids play room complete with a fairly big built in cupboard.


Here is the new front hall. We are moving the front door into the middle of the house.

Big weekend coming up, Geoff plans on putting the beam across to the party wall and across from that to open up under the stairs so we've cleared the kitchen cupboards and the under stairs pantry and will empty the bedroom above the lounge and re-arrange the one above the kitchen so he can get access - and we're going away!!! Very nervy about this - it's probably the most destructive bit as the beam runs alongside the joists, not across, so propping is much more difficult.

It's been a long, wet week. We've been relatively lucky compared to some places, but it has rained almost non-stop meaning progress has been patchy and slow, however, we have made progress. At the beginning of the week, the bay looked like this:


By thursday/friday it looked like this:

The internal walls are now in the right place and we can see the layout of the kids' room and the front hall, which is nice and wide with room for cupboards down one side.

The rear porch is now out of the ground but there is still a lot to do.
