Before we begin...




This is the 'before' state - three views of the corrugated iron extension that was on the house when we bought it five years ago. The big black doors open to a basic storage/workshop area. The other half is used as a bedroom.

By the time this project is finished, things will look quite different.

We have been planning this project with our architect for about a year - going through all sorts of fun stuff like planning consents and building warrant applications (We are still waiting for a building warrant to be issued...) Now we have selected our builder and we are hoping to see work start early in July.

The final product should be a rather more solid extension than this one, to include a bedroom, a shower room, a utility room and a workshop. The work is scheduled to take about 20 weeks, so we ought to be finished before the end of the year. We'll see...

However fast or slow the progress, I'll be updating this blog pretty frequently once things get going.
