Emerging shape

.


I was very excited this morning because finally I was about to see the new shape of the house be revealed. Once most of the living room upstairs was ready, part of the roof and wall of the dining room was to be pulled down so that the two rooms could link. In the existing and proposed cross section drawings below, you'll hopefully be able to make sense of what I'm trying to explain.



Above is how the place used to look if sliced right through (yes, the previous owners were planning to have a cafeteria in the building)



Now, from the dining room you can look up into the living room making it more open plan and bringing in more light from upstairs.



This week work will go on in finishing the roof of the room upstairs. In the meantime, hopefully Mr Contractor is having his well earned rest so that he can deal with all the challenges the house and I throw at him next week.
