Lean-To into Extension..DIY Style

[Rob_Quads]

After the last few months I have been fairly quiet on the forums. Managed to get on every so often to answer the odd ICE question but all my free time has been taken up by a little project of turning a useless lean-to into a proper extension to make our lounge a bit nicer. All the work was done by myself except for the plastering which I was given a hand by the guy i sit next to at work.

 

So what did I start with.... a 25yr structure, most of the window frames were rotten, roof held on by zip ties in places due to the frame being rotten.

 

 

First strip it back and it becomes the blue lagoon...

 

 

and so the new work begins

 

 

almost looks like a proper extension

 

 

once the windows went in the inside work began

 

 

outside virtually done

 

 

inside nearly there

 

 

inside done

 

 

Been a lot of weekends and evenings but so glad its done. Hopefully should at least make my money back and will help make the house be more saleable when the time comes. In the spring we will look at sorting the decking.

Looks fantastic.... I did an old terraced house up a few years back, social life went right down the pan for 9 months but made a few quid so well worth it

 

congrats on a job well done

Yup - only an old 720p one but still makes for great film and footy viewing. Screen is sunk into the roof.
