The renos continue

The good news we now have some walls, the bad news the slate has been removed and things are a little messy.

Here is the new pantry with walls (and a light that comes on when you open the door - we think, it is certainly on when the door opens but is it always on)!


And the laundry.



Here we are looking towards the deck from the kitchen.



And our classy new front entrance....



Turns out the slate in the kitchen area and family room were laid at different times (more than a few years apart apparently and by different techniques). The kitchen was laid using bitumen and hessian the family room by a more modern adhesive. You can see where the extension starts quite easily in the photo above, note the change in floor colour where the bitumen ends. The consequence, the kitchen area lifted fairly easily the family room will need to be stripped by a sander of some sort. The dust is already everywhere with prospects it will get a lot worse.
The tiles have been delivered so it is all go.
