the beginnings of a home renovation

Finally some photos of the start of our home renovation!

To give you a sense of what we are doing. This is a view from the backyard looking back at the house. We are extending into the side concrete driveway and out into the backyard to create an open plan kitchen/lounge area and new bathroom.


Part of the driveway removed...


The pergola comes down, trench is dug, hot water system moved...


I'm a bit embarassed to show you the state of my kitchen but here it is. Temporary kitchen wall created so once the kitchen wall and part of the above wall (from left to the right of the door frame) is removed, we still have a working, functional kitchen and security with a solid, lock up door.


This photo was taken from the end of the hallway as you enter the kitchen. Once it's transformed you will see an open plan lounge and kitchen. That's the plan!
