So, after three years of hasseling gentle persuasion, I have finally managed to get DH to agree to a new kitchen.
We currently have a 2m by 5m atrocity, with nothing fitted, just all the random appliances, cupboards and shelves we had acquired over the years from our days as students .
To the side of our house is a huge room, which once used to house the odd horse or two (we think), and now holds the central heating burner and fuel tank (don't ask, yes, they're both in the same room, yes I realise how bad this is), a loo, a sink, the washer and dryer.
The burner, loo and sink can relatively easily be moved into our current kitchen and a partition wall can be put up in the stable to separate the fuel tank, leaving us with about 4m by 5m to play with.
The floor is currently concrete, we could tile it easily enough, the walls need to be insulated and plaster boarded, as does the ceiling. The whole room needs rewiring and replumbing.
There is a big door (roughly double horse sized) and a small window which will both need replacing.
We're giving ourselves about 2.5 years to save up before any work starts, but have no idea how much it's going to cost.
Where the hell do I start?
