The plans ... the dream!

Existing house

Extension

Some "before" photos

Always a good place to start ... before photos! Looking fairly grotty and dry.

Over the weekend I began buy cutting down the lucerne tree behind the little shed. Would have been an easy job if I had a chainsaw!

One tick on the list

First thing to be ticked off - garage/shed is ordered. Got a slight discount by asking my preferred company to be competitive with the lower quotes I'd received. It should be on track to be delivered early and built on time. Just got to hope the builder clears the site to be ready!

Starting out

Lots of tasks to start out this week, with the likely building date getting closer.

First up is getting quotes on tree removal - don't want those lovely old pine trees smashing down through my nice new extension. Will be sad to say good bye to the 100+ year old trees, but it is there time.

Also need to book in the garage to be supplied and built ... comparing quotes is lots of fun.

Starting to think about packing up the house.

Selecting ensuite fittings is going to get a bit desperate soon ... decisions will have to be made.
