How do I bathroom / kitchen / extension? etc.

that's what the shed is for

Is your oven really bottom right?
Are you venting that hood? Have you planned how that will be done? I can't see which are external walls.

We worked with our kitchen planners to come to zones of:
food ( fridge and dry good)
cooking (hob, oven, microwave)
Storage ( plates, cutlery, pans, dishwasher)
prep (worktop and bin)

However I'm of the opinion if you like it then it will probably work for you.

Tea coffe etc is hard to reach, but maybe you're all tall?

With induction hobs what's the minimum max wattage you'd want?

I think around 7,000 watts equates to 32A which is pretty standard.

Obviously if you only have a plug rather than hard wired you need a lot lower.

Cheers, thought so. The ones I've been looking at were all around 7500 but then I saw a load at over 10000 which made me wonder.

solid laminate

a bit of dredge but have you had any issues with this?

Does anyone know a decent mastic man

... with mastic cats and dogs?

Decking going down. The place is starting to be quite liveable now. Kitchen coming in a few weeks.

Flawless

So good. More pics please!

Looking great! More pics please.

The big doors/big window combo is looking great. Definitely feel vindicated in planning similar now.

I would imagine it also depends if you're getting a 4 ring version or one with 5

I'm looking for a (nice) door knob/handle that turns a spindle, and that is also one-sided, so that it is firmly attached to the door surface by its own 'rose', without needing to be clamped by another handle/knob on the other side of the door.

I'm finding it difficult to find such a thing... any suggestions for search terms/products much appreciated.

Here's a better pic. Starting to come together, but the last 5% is taking forever as builders move on to other work.

The cattle grid is a good feature.

Looks mint. Gonna be a joy and worth all the bullshit.

Brick walls. I'd like a high brick or stone wall to replace an existing low metal slatted fence so I don't have to see my naked neighbour always when he leans against the window and presses his cock against the glass.

Our house is currently rendered and will likely be re-rendered this year pending costs of some other projects around the house. Can brick be laid against it? Does it need a gap? Does it need to join and support? What's the process? We currently have aging decking but want to replace the decking with stone flooring so there'll at least be something solid to put it on. It will presumably need to be anchored to the side somehow as it will form a wall 10ft up above a side return so doesn't want to fall over..

You can never be too careful.

Tiling done in the bathroom, we compromised on tight sink and bog so we could get a good sized shower tray (150x80).

Definitely the right choice, cramped shower would piss me off way more.

It's easier to squeeze out a shit than a shower

Dry wall going up in the third floor conversion.

All of the walls on the second floor are getting a little treatment as well. It's two big rooms and one small one. Wall paper couldn't be pulled from the horsehair plaster, so we're left to 1/8th drywall over the surface. A little disappointed, but the trim is very deep and results seem acceptable. Alternatively could have pulled all the trim and rebuilt it but this is 95% perfect and much much much less expensive.
