Going down

The upstairs is sort of done - the bedrooms are all decorated and carpeted but I still need to put the finishing touches in the way of shelves, pictures and storage. Now the really big work begins downstairs. We built the extension last year, started in the summer and got the roof on just in time for winter to strike, but were yet to start the really mucky work of knocking through into the existing house.

In the last couple of weeks, Himself has taken out two internal walls which has completely opened up the back of the house and you can really see the shape of the new space which will become 50m2 of open plan kitchen/diner/living/play room.

Here are some photos of the work in progress. I will take some new ones soon!
