Today was day one of the start of renovations for the top house.

 And I can't believe how much Michael and Joe achieved in one day. Pulling out walls and pulling down ceilings proved much easier than expected.

So what I'll do instead of sharing all the photos I took today, I'll show each stage, keep it simple I reckon.

So here are the before photos...by the way, all photos taken with a wide angle lens which can make a space look bigger,although it is a big area

View from the kitchen towards the dining space

View from dining towards the lounge

Wall to be removed

From dining area to kitchen

Kitchen s being removed

Lounge again, showing ceiling with the ghastly tiles to come down

Lounge towards kitchen, which is behind the wall, which is coming out

Lounge, wall for removal, rather nice bay window

From the bay window looking to dining area, plus wall which has bedroom 3 behind it

Wall for removal, we're losing a bedroom to create  bigger open, living space




And work begins..

3rd bedroom, once wall is out it will become the new kitchen

3rd bedroom

Bedroom 2, ceiling is coming down in here

Laundry, all being removed and relocated to the garage. By removing this means we add length to the living space

 
After a day of hard graft, it now looks like this
View from the bay window, the wall of the 3rd bedroom is gone which creates space for the new kitchen

From the lounge looking to old kitchen, wall removed, the bricks surrounding the pot belly will be removed tomorrow. TV will go on the far wall

From the far corner of the lounge looking diagonally across to the dining area, walls removed


Fireplace still to come out, such a lovely space and a blank canvas

Far corner of old kitchen, looking towards new kitchen space

View from bathroom/hallway end looking back into the living space
From French doors in between old kitchen and dining

New Kitchen space


View from ranch slider to French doors


Bedroom 2, ceiling down

And that is day one, a superb effort from the Webber chaps

  1. Wow, that was a lot of work done in one day! You won't recognize it when it's finished! Will the fire stove stay or is that going as well?

    1. I know right, I couldn't believe it, or just how big the space has turned out. The pot belly stove is going, might repurpose it somewhere
