Bought this a few months ago.
Pics before
The ceiling was bowed, spanned 5m with 3x2 with no upright support so decided to take it down
The room
I will update later on . I will also get more progress pics and of other rooms.

1901 . Kitchens started going in. Meeting a chap shortly to quote for a new staircase to upstairs loft then I can get cracked on again
Going for high gloss White and aubergine high gloss Perspex coated doors . Sounds shit but looks good in the flesh

Laid a concrete base and got bonding plater on chimney , tomorrow evenings job is to bond the aspestalux round internal of fire place then skim the front to tidy it all up, still in two minds whether to sack off cleaning stone lintel and put an oak lintle in like everyone seems to do . Just seems a shame covering up the original bits up.

Started insulating the roof , was going to latt the timber and put it in-between but for ease went over top, to leave 3" for roof to breathe .

Should have used light coloured tiles in the bathroom, those dark ones tend to make it look closed in

Will look good with a clean up and paint. IF you need advice on fitting it Rick's, Mrs's Brother does it for a living.
