Hello. My most recent posts have been about house extension work. Here’s another one.
After building a new toilet and shower-room, we had our existing bathroom demolished. We then built a new bathroom with underfloor heating in its place. We also put underfloor heating in the hallway space just outside the bathroom. This involved having to walk on planks for a short while.
Our new utility room became operational. This has involved moving the fridge and freezer from a porch area which has now been demolished. The adjacent old boiler room was also demolished. We had problems with ordering a mixer tap, receiving the wrong one on several occasions before eventually getting the right one.
In April, we had new ridge tiles put on our roof, but then one of them fell down during stormy weather. Wallpaper was stripped off the walls inside, and then later they were plastered. Now they have been painted. We have a different colour for each new room of the house.
A new front door was put in, and also new windows. This included a new window-door in the new study area. Also, after the porch and old boiler room were demolished, we also put new window-doors in the kitchen, and the living room. These both replaced previous internal doors. The entranceway has been newly paved.
In the inside of the house, we have had electrical work, putting in light switches, lights, thermostats, fans etc. We have also had joinery work putting in new doors and skirting boards etc. New tiles have been put down in the hallway, and carpet tiles in the new bedroom. Up until now, this new bedroom has been used as a joinery room. We have taken trips to Ikea and other places for furnishings such as light shades, curtains and blinds, and new cabinets.
On the outside of the house, we have had new insulation put on the walls, and new yellow rendering. This is a similar to the previous colour, but in the middle, the house was briefly a nice green. We wouldn’t have minded sticking with that.
Although the house extension has essentially been built, work is still continuing with landscaping, new grass seed, moving furniture etc. However, I think next time I’d like to blog about something else.
