Hi all helpful MNers.

We are having the lounge extended and have got two choices about what to do with the back wall. Basically the interior of the new extension part, once it's plastered and ready to paint, it will come into the room very marginally more than the existing back walls. So we either 1- have a small dip from new part to old part, or 2 - they fill over the existing walls to make the whole thing level. Sorry for such awful explanation. Hopefully the pics will help.

So do you think 1 or 2 is best.

Also, pics don't show but there will be a steel up at the ceiling above the point where wall of previous room has been extended. Not sure how this affects things.
