My budget kitchen extension project
Not 100% sure if others are interested but just embarking on a kitchen extension in my 2 bed terraced house - as always on a budget
Background
I’m retired - 55 last week- pretty handy at most things - although probably my ex wife would disagree
I bought the house around 4 years ago and have been refurbishing it room by room
It was owned by an elderly couple who went into a home
The kitchen / conservatory is the last room and has been on my radar for the last year
My SIL’s dads a chippy and is doing most of the construction work with my assistance- I’m paying him a day rate and buying all the materials
The concrete slab was in situ and housed an 80’s conservatory (diy)
2 mates and I dismantled it yesterday and took most to the tip the same day
Hope you enjoy - I will ‘cost it’ if folks are interested
The extension is approx 2.5m x 3.8m

I’d started earlier in the year by removing the monstrosity that was the chimney in the kitchen - brick by brick
Last year I’d removed this in the loft and bedroom above while renovating
