Great work!
Just one thing....where did you all sleep while the bedrooms were being gutted
Love the fire check doors - where did you get them from and how much were they, if you don't mind me asking?
Cheers
Thanks Toonaroond. We got them to gut the bedrooms while we were on holiday (wouldn't have fancied being in the house at that point, lath & plaster ceilings make a hell of a mess when they're taken down ). By the time we came back they'd put up the new walls and ceilings, and my wife & kids then went to her parents for a week (I camped out in the living room) whilst the builders did frames/architrave/skirting/doors and 2nd fix electrics so that we could sleep in the bedrooms. Obviously still dusty but a lot easier to live in now!
Thanks for your comments on the doors, spent a long time finding these. In the end got them from a specialist door company called Distinctive Doors (don't think mods allow links to be posted, but if you google 'distinctive doors' you'll find them at the top of the page ). Worked out about £180 per door (excluding door furniture) but they are very good quality, very solid and will look great once they've had some matt varnish applied. Our builders were very impressed, they're going to start using them on future jobs when the customer wants something different to the standard 4/6 panel fire doors.
