Lodge Development
The picture shows the general view of the Lodge in its original state. You can't really see the undulations in the roof in this picture, but the whole front roof was redone as part of the project.
|
This became the kitchen.
|
The bar needed more light! |
|
This was opened up to make the reception area. |
We removed the ceiling in this old bzrn section and made a roomy salonrnin g the old animal feeding troughs into benches. |
The lodge was gutted, the doors and windows replaceded, a number of internal walls were demolished and new doorways made inside between rooms, as well as adding sliding doors from the dining room to a new terrace area at the back.
Once fitted with a new roof, the first floor material, of concrete mixed with little polystyrene balls, was squirted in through a window. Once dry, this lightweight floor will be covered with wood flooring.
|
After the new roof ,windows and doors, the plasterboard interior walls could be fitted.
|
Then the insulation for the underfloor heating |
|
Then the underfloor heating pipes
|
When the floor is ready, the tiles go down |
|
With the floor in and dry the custom-made stairs can go in...
|
...which means that the flooring can be laid upstairs, and the final plumbing and decorating work completed. |
And after the terraces are down and the stonework repointed, we can begin to landscape the outside.
