Hey guys,
In the next few months or so this will be the next major DIY job on the cards now that the kitchen has been ripped out and fitted/decorated. I am lucky enough to have a brother who is an architect who came over to measure the house on the weekend to draw up the plans and contact the planning office to get the ball rolling.
Heres the garage that will be converted into a new dinning room just off the kitchen;
The conversion will be for two main reasons; firstly to give us more living space now we have settled in, and secondly to boost the house value when we come to selling it later down the road (its our first house). I've already knocked through from the kitchen into the garage and fitted a new door for easy access. For the most part, I will be doing most of the labouring/jobs myself as I am a real keen DIY'er
.
Feel free to give any advice or leave any comments if you have gone through a conversion yourself, or are just into your DIY and are interested.
