The House Projects Thread
Re: The House Projects Thread
From my experience, ripping out walls is often way more expensive than building them!
Probably the best place to start is with an architect/structural designer/builder looking at what is easily removable/non-structural and go from there!

Tha original house footprint- 1st floor layout is all good, 3.4m
Ceilings, ornate cornices etc, once various en suites are removed is ok, the guest house ground floor extension is just that- lots of bedrooms, separated by stud walls.
It’s the bit in the middle that’s requiring a bit more thought. The dining room/kitchen/ground floor bedroom.
For context of scale, said dining room is 6.4x4.2m
The place is fkn massive

First purchase will be one of those gps trackers for your car keys as it’ll get boring very quickly when you lose them in that hotel

If it is to live in, then definitely go nuts on the cinema/games room.

I can hear the builders.
I wish I couldn't hear the builders.
"Have you seen the state of this gable end?"
"It's all over the place this (a wall). It's a right f**kin' mess"

Re: The House Projects Thread
Agreed, last place was 316, this is bigger but once you start opening it up it is sensible, it will be 5 or 6 bedroom house when finished

Re: The House Projects Thread
Nah these guys are good. And I've now seen what they were on about
Re: The House Projects Thread
See below for images of hideous old conservatory. As it's so unusable in the colder months it just becomes a dumping ground, especially as we're in the midst of transferring stuff from boxes in the garage into the loft. Lovely crazy paving laid on top of original paving . All shit will be to rip up at some point . Roof is a lovely shade of green. I'd cleaned it when we moved in and now it's even worse than it was before.
I cannot wait until it's gone!!

What are you planning for the inside wall?
