It All Starts Coming Together

Having just spent a very pleasant week in Halcyon I thought this would be a good point to look back at what the house looked like before the latest changes and where it is now. Firstly, this is how the south side of Halcyon looked last year. The remains of the old kitchen were lying around with other detritus that we had removed.


Most of the rubbish has been sent off in a skip and my friend Rafe helped lay a new deck which we almost completed in a day, only stopping because we had run out of wood.


Next is the bathroom which has been more than doubled in size.


The toilet and sink have been moved


and now a new roof has been fitted and the walls re-clad ready to be tiled.


The kitchen started out as just this unit, a couple of wall cupboards and a cooker.


we took down the wall between kitchen and living room to make an open plan space



and with the help of IKEA have a new fitted kitchen with integral cooker, hob, dish washer, fridge and sink.
