This room hadn’t changed much, but there was this interesting linolium on the ground, reminiscent of the 70’s, or possibly the 60’s. It is probably the most depressing room in the entire house. This room is next to the lounge area which I call the back room. Our plan is to turn the back of the house into a large open plan kitchen / sitting / dining area and seeing the current rooms opened up and the light flowing ignited a real excitement in us both. It was a gorgeous, bright, crisp Autumn day and light was flooding into the house from every direction. This is one thing that both myself and Eoin really noticed the minute we walked into the house on Sunday. When the old bathroom was removed it let in so much light into the space at the back of the house. Not very well was my inexperienced assessment of the work!! Old Bathroom & Kitchen Seeing this gave us a really good idea of how the old extension was built.
The lounge area at the back has become a storage area for the old bathroom and kitchen that has now been stripped down completely. It’s been replaced by a dust smell but it’s all progress. Already the damp smell in the house has gone.
It is the only room in the house that hasn’t been stripped of anything except the carpet. We may need to start thinking about alternative options here, as we had originally hoped to salvage the old boards. Unfortunately they are not in great condition. It is amazing what 3 days, 2 men and a lump hammer can do! The hall has been stripped out, the old carpet removed and the floorboards underneath revealed. Since we went sale agreed on this house back on the 13th April (it was a Friday, but that date has always been lucky for us for some reason), we have spent hours upon hours trying to visualise what the house would look like when the work starts and last weekend we finally got to experience it. The work has finally started! You have no idea how long I have wanted to say those words! Over the past few weeks, we had expected work to start on different occasions, but due between one thing and another it was put off until last Wednesday.
