One after another!! We found so many issues and places to fix.
We found that the upstairs wall is weak and not solid enough... when we push the wall, the wall made squeaky noise and whole wall moves. The other side of the wall looked okay but some builder pointed that the wall is weak as well.
Same to the ceiling in the dining room... once we move in, we cannot do it as the work make so much dust. So we decided to re-do all ceiling in the dining room too.
This is the picture the builder removed the wall upstairs. The wood is very thin and weak, so they will make it stronger.
We did not expect such a big re-construction of the house...
The pulmber and electrician are working on our house at the moment.
We thought (and the estate agency said!!) the boiler is combi boiler. But!!! actually, the boiler is conventional boiler. We haven't had any knowledge about boiler and we did not know it. We noticed that there was a water tank next to the bath room but still we did not know the boiler is not combi boiler!
So we called some plumbers and asked quotes about removing the water tank ... then find out that our boiler is not combi boiler. We decided to change it to combi boiler. Also, all radiators are very old. They are not energy efficient at all. We wanted to change them as well...
Oddly, the previous boiler was in the bath room. We wanted to move it to outside of the bathroom too.
In addition, we need to re-wire all electric cables. We know it from the validation survey... We asked electricians for some quotations and chose the good electric company to do all the jobs. We haven't expected such big jobs!
This is the dining room... removed all ceiling. I will write about the wall and ceiling in the next post. (we haven't expected this big job neither...)
Carried on removing the wall paper in the dining room and the bed room...
It was a hard work, managed to remove all wall paper in the living room, finally!
Below the wallpaper, we can see the stain of old picture rail! We need to clean up the wall but pretty much removed all wall paper. Will be ready for the builder to plaster the wall.
Same as the bedroom...After removing the wardrobe, then removed the wallpaper... need to clean up but the room gets bigger!
We'll ask the other works to the builder. Hope to proceed very soon!
