My Renovation

[Baldinho]

Great - thanks!

[RopTop]

This is coming along very well OP!

I'm a big fan of the roof lanterns - would you mind sharing the size and where you sourced them please (PM if you prefer).

Looking forward to more updates...

It’s more like £120k now, the main builder was going to PM it, but I decided not to proceed with it.

Hopefully we’ll be in for Christmas

Looks fab hows the spend going? Alot of good quality work there, £120k seems cheap for the final product.

Thanks...of course not. They were from RoofGlaze.

2.2m x 3m they were circa £3100 inc vat and delivery for the pair. In reality though it’s much more, the roof is designed around the lanterns with additional steelwork etc.

Top man, thank you!

Bit of an update from last week.....

[Coley88]

A few from last week, rendering is now underway and a few more windows & doors.

It’s fair to say, we’ll not be in for Christmas.

That looks and is going to look fantastic!!

Hows your budget coming on from thw £70k? I’m about to renovate my standard 3 bed semi with a rear extension and all in should be about £85k. How you’ve done all that for £70 is incredible?!

£70k is a distant memory sadly.

Double that I’d have thought.

We’ve just decided to go the whole hog which added additional costs, including a new roof and new windows & doors

£85k is a healthy budget.

Those are serious roof lights - if it's not too late, maybe consider adding a lip & some lights - mine's a lot smaller but I added a Hue light strip which is kind of fun

Fair enough, strangely that makes me feel better as my build was going to look horrendously expensive haha.

I think you’ll get every penny back come remortgage time though with doing a proper job, looks great!

Your kitchen looks fantastic.

It’s surprising how it gobbles away at your budget.

Where is your new front door from if you don't mind me asking?

It’s from Lusso Stone and yes, it was horrendously heavy, 140kg which isn’t too bad but it’s shape and delicate nature made it tricky, I hired a Genie lift to get it up the gap where the stairs used to be.

Seems decent to me

A bit of an update of our recent developments;

[V8mate]

Looks like you've got three front doors?

Didn't the beetles do something similar in the yellow submarine film.

Hahaha...its just the layout of the house, the secondary door used to access what was the extension, which iI think had one eye on it being a potential separate “granny” dwelling. It’s now access into the utility area.

The new french doors replace the old full height sliding pvc patio doors, to hopefully give an extra bit of privacy, they’ll be stone balustrade in front of the small patio area too.
