Taking shape

Exciting progress this week as we've watched the brickies move onto site and the real outline of the new extension take shape. 


It's funny how despite it actually being a large extension it still feels small when we stand inside it! However, having watched enough Grand Designs shows I can appreciate there always seems to be a discrepancy between what is 'felt' and what is 'real'! 

Scarily we have less of a house than we did last week as in order to satisfy our local tax man (see previous post) we have to go as far as obliterating walls and windows - hopefully now they might finally believe we can't live there!!! 





What do you reckon - could you live here? 

So now that they've started building, our thoughts are turning back to the interiors. First on the agenda is the fireplace and wood burning stove. This has a direct impact on bricks hence it being one of the first things to consider. So Rob and I are going to spend a happy evening deciding which stove we like as this decides the size of the fireplace and therefore where the bricks need to be! 
I have to admit to not being quite prepared for this decision - came a lot quicker than anticipated! Hopefully forthcoming decisions will be better anticipated!
