Here i go- never done a kitchen before so im going to let everyone enjoy my ups and downs along the way.

I,m also need to move the connecting door so I will be knocking down walls as well as knocking down part of a wall to give better access into the new kitchen from the hall.

check the walls to see if they are supporting before knocking anything or it might be more than a wall coming down good luck !
get all your services in first gas water electric then your flooring.

Thanks badgerchief I have have the house checked out by a structral engineer and I ok to take down the hall wall but between the kitchen /utillty it load bearing.

 

[badgerchief]

so you`ll need acro props and scaffhold boards to support the load of the floors above
has the structural engineer calculated for the r s j or lintel required?
