Thought I might as well whack up a few photos of our kitchen extension.
Caution: probably a bit dull and very little AV involved, other than a couple of cameos
This is how we found the kitchen five and a bit years ago when we moved in - with a random pillar. Incidentally, where the pillar is marks the origial end of the house - beyond that is an extension from about 30 years go:
Pillar gone:
Five years later, looks a bit more lived-in (i.e. a mess)
The plan is to:
So on with the action - the builders arrive! First some foundations dug:

The plan is to:
- Bring the external wall of the kitchen out to make it level with the lounge.
- Add an extension down the boundary to accomodate a utillity room and small toilet. The boiler will be moved to the utility room.
- Move all cupboards and kitchen appliances, including sink, to the wall along the boundary.
- Convert half the garage (seen through the door in the internal picture above) into kitchen, and raise the roof of the garage to the level of the rest of the kitchen (currently it's substantially lower)
