The last few weeks have been all systems go. Jesse has ripped out more walls and ceilings and has started ripping the ceiling in the main area down in preparation for the builders who will be coming in a few weeks.
For those of you who missed the memo we are ripping the roof off the middle section of our house to extend our 2.4m ceilings to a massive 4.8 at the peak of our cathedral. (See below). Our aim was to add as much glass as possible to maximise our view and increase the natural light in the space.
In the beginning we planned to only replace, around just over half the windows in the house but as the process went along we have decided to invest the money and replace the whole lot to include double glazing and ensure they all match as the existing windows were cream and our new windows will be white. As always everything in a Reno seems to get bigger and bigger as the process moves along.
At the moment we are really nailing down all our decisions and purchasing all the pieces we will need in the next couple of weeks especially to lock in measurements such as appliances, tiles, sinks, kitchen cabinetry, bench tops, lighting, skirting, paint colours and the rest.
So much is going on at the moment and at times it feels like we are never going to get out of a building site but once the roof goes up and the dust settles we will be on the home stretch.
