It is coming along quite nicely.
We have plans on replacing that door with a wall + window to let in natural light and get more sound / temp insulation.
But the yearly budget has evaporated after we got the quote for the replacement of our 3 outside doors.
One also needs a complete new frame with a new window since the old one is not how we want it.
They have milled the window rabbet in the same 'bar' (don't know the technical term) as the doorframe, leaving only 1,8cm of wood between the door and the window.
So now is the time to also replace that. And while doing that, we decided to make it fit to the style of the house more, meaning with a small upper window and a new 'leak sill' that also was used back at the time when the house was built (1931)
Nice rods in all windows etc. etc. etc.
So that adds to the list (and the amount).....
But well worth it in the grand plan for our house.
So I made sure to end my work in such a way that we can integrate the future wall with what I'm making right now.
While still making it look 'finished' for the period that it will be like this.
It is how we decided to buy and renovate this house (step by step) not taking more mortgage but saving money every year to do small projects. |
