Kitchen Pantry Cupboard

Received pics today from the joiner of the pantry cupboard for right hand side of chimney breast in kitchen.
We wanted a cupboard to surround the gas boiler to hide it, and also for the base unit to house a standard size side by side fridge and freezer.

After taking many photos and measurements of the cupboard we already have on the other side of the chimney breast, he sourced some used flooring and timber, and has built to our specifications..

These are pics he has sent, cannot wait to see it in situ in the kitchen, then to decide on finish, think antique wood stain and then several coats of wax.

and this is picture of original cupboard

Vertical Blinds

Last week we ordered vertical blinds to be fitted to the windows. The terrible floods in the Durham area meant a delay as the fabric could not be delivered to the manufacturer (well that was the excuse they used), but eventually arrived and had them installed.

Opted for vertical blinds as during the daytime we can open them from the centre pulled to each side, to create an open view to the countryside

Garage Guttering

We have had some black square style guttering fitted to the side of the garage and shed, in an attempt to divert the rainwater away from the courtyard area.

Loft Space

We eventually intend the loft space to be a "boys space" with an electric train setup.

The central area has previously been floor boarded, and as we had a huge sheet of plywood placed up there before the new ceilings were put up, we have had this now constructed into a table that will hold the train tracks.

A timber surround has also been made with a gate for access and securely fixed around the loft hatch.
