Well - thought we did. They are now under strict instruction not to throw anything away ever until we OK it.
Bit of a wake-up. We're trying to keep as much of the modernist character of the place as possible as it has been largely untouched since it was built in '59 when it was pretty glamorous and all bespoke. Just need to change the builders mindset from re-build to re-furbish.

1.5 weeks into 5 month extension / refurbishment project and the builders have ripped out part of the handbuilt 50's kitchen that was supposed to be kept intact. Thankfully all the doors are still OK, but left them going through the skip to find the original hinges that we need to keep too.
This is going to be stressful.
