Em and James came round and Em ripped wall paper off and had to be semi restrained from putting her foot through an old door/wall thing! Hahahaha!

AWESOME!

Aching already but loving it!

Mini update... just downloaded some photos... wow they're old! Have done loads more but here's a taster. I will take some more photos tomorrow!

Original Kitchen (photo from hallway)

Original Kitchen (photo from other side of kitchen looking into hallway) (Oh and this is minus a wall and bricked up larder cupboard of which some BDers had fun taking the wooden panel out of

)

Ripped out the above. Had plaster chucked up and then plonked these in (I put them in over a bottle or two of wine as it was annoying me... and amazingly... when I woke up... they were all level! Sweeeeet!

Oak tops were put in:

Upstairs:

This photo is from the backbedroom looking down the hall. The old stud wall there was being taken down and I was moving it forward a bit to make a square room (was a funny shape) and make the bathroom a couple of feet bigger meaning I could have a normal bath in it without being major squished. Where the ladders are was where the original toilet used to be (the one with the gunky flush in the above photos). The wall behind encloses the old bathroom which I knocked through too and had supports put up to join it altogether for a big bathroom!

This is the wall behind the ladder which I had taken out! See old bath propped up against back wall!

This is my stud wall! I was mega impressed! I tell you what... nailing wood in the ceiling that's over 6foot long by yourself is NOT an easy task. I ended up with a very sore head after it thwumped me on the noggin!

And for about a month plus (altogether about 2 months of no hot water) I had only this for my water supply:

Needless to say when you end up looking like this everyday...

... (and that's actually me pretty clean compared to how I looked half the time... black plaster SUCKS!)... the lack of hot water and a bath SUCKED! A bucket and screw tap with FREEZING water was... well not nice! Plus I had no or little electricity and certainly no heating! I had to abuse friends showers, swimming showers and works showers!

And yeh. The above has come on so much again... I'm in the finishing stages now and will get some more photos sorted in the next few days! Just a mini update in the interim!
