We have just been to site in the rainy August weather. It is looking rather...pink! See for yourself below...





















The new extension looking back towards the house. Yet to be plastered!- the pink plasterboard signifies that it is fire resistant. There will also be an area of glazed roof above the door you can see in the photo.






















Again, looking towards the house- this is where the kitchen will be.






















Within the basement- the boiler and the complicated series of pipes surrounding it (mostly for the underfloor heating).



















Looking from within the existing house at the new extension.






















The roof of the rear extension that will be glazed.

Getting there!

Work has been progressing and the house is now taking shape. With the floors in we can understand the size of the new extension and the effect of the glazed roof to the rear. Upstairs the rooms are being plastered which helps us to understand the way the house will feel when it is finished.


Take a look for yourself below, here are some photos from July...


















Looking out of the top room at the new solar panels and the new roof to the extension below.
