Home Renovation - On a more modest scale
The garage outfitting has gone on hold while I get the house updated. While in lodgings I enjoyed the versatility of the kitchen / living area and so have decided to take the kitchen / diner and turn it into a living / entertaining area. As someone mention holding the South West local meet on the drive I need somewhere to entertain.
Here's the back of the house and patio: The pile of rubbish is what has come out of the kitchen so far!! Two days with a bully stick lifting vinyl flooring stuck down with god strength glue and thermoplastic tiles stuck down with god's dads' strength glue has given me one of these in each palm: But the floor, which did look like this is clear (ish)! So, after a couple of days with a lump hammer we have this: and this: Leaving this to rip out: Skip arrives this morning. All rubbish gone and onto the floor laying, tiling, cabinet fitting, plumbing, electrics, painting and decorating, furniture and so on. Tomorrow I will rebuild the great wall of China!
