I am going to overhaul my lounge, with insulation, multifuel stove, new ceiling, walls, floor etc, do the below points all seem reasonable?
1. remove old open fire, open out to the builders opening, to be replastered for the stove to be fitted.
2. remove all the old plaster, it will be like 130yrs + old, what is the best way to remove it?
3. the floor has floorbords and a 2ft void underneath, does it make sense to remove the floorboards, fit insulation between joints, lay ply and then fit engineered floor afterwards? dont really want to refit the current floorboards as they have random traps in the room from when electrics etc have been fitted over the years.
4. fit the room out with plasterboard with the insulation fitted?
5. remove and fit a new ceiling
6. the room is rectangular, approx 12x15 with the fireplace on a 12ft wall, the door off centre on the opposite wall and 2 windows on one of the 15ft wall. Where would you say is the best place to fit the radiator? At the moment it is on the blank 15ft wall, but then a sofa gets stuck in fronyt of it and that to me defeats the object!
7. the light fitting I would like to fit, weights about 30kilos, the ceiling would just require some extra bracing?
What do you think? All OK? or any daft ideas?
