The Kitchen - Part 4

It's taken nearly 5 weeks but here we are - we have a room ready to be a kitchen.  This room has now been transformed from a tiny kitchen with a strange utility and WC into one square space. 

We've taken out 4 rotten windows and replaced 2 new windows.  We've closed up a door and opened another door on the side of the kitchen we wanted it to be.  We've moved waste pipes on the outside, we've dried out damp bricks, injected the walls with damp proofing.  We've discovered an unsupported chimney breast and re-supported it.  We've screeded the floor so it's all on one level and we've replaced the ceiling.  We've re-wired the room and re-piped the room with water and gas.



Once this plaster dries out, (these are the beige stripes where the joins are waiting to dry) this room will be one big white space - just waiting for a kitchen....
