Our DIY Home Renovation

Let us know your thoughts on keeping an internal window! 😊

See you next week 👋🏻❤️

Your downstairs bathroom could had perfectly had a wee window on top of the loo seat , good for ventilation and natural light as well

I love your ideas, in general ,but your utility rooms it's big for what the living room is , it does feel a waste of vital space. No sure of the ratio of that room 😮😮

Pro tip put electric mirrors with speakers into bathrooms people go nuts for them when selling 🤷‍♂️
Also brick up the window it’s just easier to

You should recycle if it you have a recycle centre near ish. I saved loads on skips just chipping away the tip runs.

Use Leyland super latex paint to paint straight on to bare plaster. It’s amazing, cheap and does not need watering down.

As a thought why not flip which side you put the stairs so when you walk into the hall you see right through to the new vaulted kitchen and get a real wow when you walk in the front door, rather than a dog leg corridor.

Make a balcony on top of the kitchen extension

Are you tempted to put a hidden door entrance from the kitchen to the utility room. Like a fake panel door or something, I think it'll be cool and handy to have.

Where did the bathroom window go is what I was thinking.

Love your videos

😂😂❤❤🎉

Make sure you treat the sleepers with bitumen paint & lean them back to the garden. THEY WILL push forward under the weight of soil. Every square metre is a ton of weight.

Hi I've spent 25 yrs doing exactly what your doing buy, renovate, sell. It's very rewarding, may I suggest you renovate the driveway first this always makes deliveries more convenient & much more effective.

Concrete screws would have been ideal for the stud wall to floor joining

Keep the window! Nice feature , light comes in and it’s a plus you can’t see inside from the kitchen because it is high!

Use a magnet to find joists and studs, the nails used to fix the plasterboard are magnetic.

Lose the window altogether, install a Sunwell and a proper extraction fan.

You ppl talk more than showing the actual work.

Fantastic videos, keep them coming. Did you insulate the stud wall to stop noise transfer from washing machine etc.?

You build the stud frame then chop the bottom where the door goes…….gonna guess no one told you this before 😂

Brick it up completely

I would either brick up the interior window or I would put a tint on it to make it look like a mirror and then frame it on the other side to make it look more like a decorative mirror

team keep the window! but also team: keep as much wall space reserved for cabinets in your utility room

Hi guys .just joined your channel.from new Zealand ❤

Just watching this episode and of course am subscribed! Looking forward to watching all of your videos to date! The weekend is coming! Thanks for posting such a fun video!

Keep the window and use the second option

On a lot of videos of building walls with doors, they'll build the entire frame and then cut out the bottom plate for the door.

Block the utility window up.
Gives you more wall space. Then install a velux or a sun tunnel to give you natural light in there

You can use an SDS drill and it'll go through the wood into the concrete easily then just plug and screw as normal, also just make the frame with the doorway in it and then multi tool out the bottom piece of the doorway that way everything will be true and plumb together..

I would make the extension roof just below the window so outside light can come in and it's practical and if need be, just dig out the ground for extra height of the room but it's lower than the rest of the house anyways

What a poor design for the bathroom, no shower caddy insert, cheap materials used, no windows. Too bad!

Hiya my two faves. Are you planning on living here at the end or will you sell and do another after xx Roxie

You could always use the old bathroom window for the utility room replacement window would be a good idea ❤

You could put a smaller window in the current kitchen

For the garden… if you're planning on having children one day – serious think about not having big drops, like sleeper walls, or big steps.

Hi beautiful, would a skylight be an option perhaps? ya'll are doing a great job..keep it up, all the best..with love from China..

Some boxing in around the what 😂😂😂. 🍆 🛑

Either brick the window up and move a window to the other outside wall, or brick up the window to half the height as it is now, and put a window in to let the light in but something that is above the extension you’re putting in if that could work.

Also would’ve been an idea to strip the room first prior to putting the stud wall in so you have easier access in and out the room to take things in and out.

Wish houses like yours came up for sale in my area as it looks like you’ve found an absolute gem! Look forward to any future videos
