Renovation Underway- Summer 2017

Lounge now larger with wall removed
This is the front room looking out to the stair and current back door.  The area has been opened and walls removed.  The door you can see is new and will be an under stairs coat cupboard. On the back wall in line with the step will be a downstairs Loo as shown by the door and wooden plank.

In the Salon the fireplace surround has been removed and a gallows bracket installed to support the chimney as shown and a liner installed with a 7kW wood burning stove that I have tested here.
Removal of the walls have highlights the different floor and ceiling levels, so all the downstairs will have floor levelling compound spread before new flooring, like we have in the kitchen at Pinwood.

The discovery of differing ceiling levels has led to the decision to remove them all and have new ceilings installed and used for services.

This room will be the Family Bathroom, with "Jack & Jill" door entry from Chambre 3

Bathroom rotten flooring removed and marine plywood laid and removed wall
The bedroom floors There will be a Jack n Jill door into the bathroom in Bedroom 3, the main bedroom where the fireplace has been removed.






















Where the new Chimney Stack is installed, is now between what will be Bedroom 1 and 2 and you can see the new floor in bed 2 and there will be a Partition between the two rooms here and the stack boxed in and hidden with built in wardrobe space.
Chambre 3 with door opening and chimney place removed

The Shower room with wall removed, rotten floor removed, levelled and new floor for Chambre 2












In the Bedroom 3 the fireplace has been removed and I repaired the floor with original floor boards from the bathroom where marine board has been laid.

I have laid a new pine floor in the smaller back bedroom where the boards were rotten and leveled the floor.
