had planned to wait until autumn for kitchen/diner extension, 3m x 7m, but builder just called to say another client has delayed their works and that he could potentially start in may with an 8 week schedule (I'm erring on the side of 12 weeks to be safe). I have first dibs on new slot so need to decide asap. plans within permitted development but not heard back from council yet, although not expecting any issues
we use the garden a lot and had planned an autumn start to minimise impact on dcs, 3.5 and 18 mths.
there will be side access for the builders but obviously garden will be out of bounds, at least for a large chunk of that time. there'll be a temporary kitchen of sorts, and can still use part of the kitchen for dcs to eat as ds is still in the throwing stage
would you jump in now or wait? how horrible will it be? I keep telling myself to get a grip and just get on with it, but ds especially is at a perfect age for exploring the garden, and still napping during the day which will go out of the window if there's too much noise.....
any wise thoughts?
