The renos begin

Well the renovations have begun, Monday was a public holiday so Tuesday saw the builder on site beginning the clear out. Below is the bathroom before.

And after...



The upstairs bathroom (which had no waterproofing in the shower recess) was the first to go, then he moved on to the laundry.


And after - sadly he had an accident with the classy light fitting and it will now have to be replaced, we had always planned to replace the vent in the ceiling which is hanging at a drunken angle.
Notice the slate was still on the floor at this stage, it is now gone.


By the time I got home in the evening both rooms were gutted and all the rubbish was in the skip. The next day or so was spent jack hammering the floor of the laundry away to provide a keyed surface to take the bed for the tiles. Then the pantry wall went and was relocated to enlarge the pantry (see below) to suit a domestic goddess who is going to spend much of the rest of her life preserving things.

This was taken from the laundry door (to outside) looking back to what will be the pantry, the studs will form the wall dividing the laundry from the pantry.

Tomorrow (Monday) the plumber is coming to position the pipes and then on Tuesday the electrician will be here to put in the odd power point or two.

So far minimum disruption (4 days in) if you do not count the dust...
