Thanks @Chunk London! Glad that you enjoyed it.

Good job and very similar to what we are having done to our home. We went for a sloped roof though as it looks better and it's less likely to cause problems, but on the flip side you have a bit more space on top of the bifolds. The other thing we have decided to do differently is installing the kitchen after the floor goes in so the units sit on top of it. Oh, and we also took up the floor in the old kitchen/diner to retro fit underfloor heating there as well (the extension area pipes were, like yours, buried under the sand and cement screed, while the old area has overlay boards). Well done though, you can never go wrong when you invest money to extend your own home.

@jonnylarge

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply @Buddy Pagano. You raise some good points. For us, both were about excessive disruption and the value added with the extra cost. To extend the heating into the old kitchen would have cost a lot in time, labour and mess taking up the old floor (as our builder wanted to insulate it properly) so we took the risk that we might get away with having the appliances that throw out heat giving us the warmth that we need. It has seemed to have worked but, if you don't have slippers or shoes on, you can definitely feel the change from the new floor to the old as you walk on it. As an aside, we control this underfloor heating with a Nest (3rd Gen) thermostat and it's learnt both our routine, and the speed at which the space warms up very well. A very clever piece of kit that works very effectively. In terms of the roof, a pitched roof would be best, but we couldn't take it across the entire width of the house. The garage roof on the right hand side would have required re-roofing to facilitate it. Again, that cost was prohibitive.There was a point in time where we thought about an extension that only covered two thirds of the width of the back - maybe leaving a small patio area outside our garage door. We decided that that space would never see the sun and be a bit wasted. As our garage is converted into a living family space, we wanted to access it easily at the back. What the video does not show much of is that we put a partition wall inside the already-converted garage, across the middle of the space. The half of that space nearest the new extension is now a utility room, housing the gas boiler, washing machine, tumble dryer and second fridge/freezer (which can a life saver!). As soon as we discussed the idea of a utility space, and had seen the flat roof, parapet and GRP solution then that seemed to be our ideal setup. Good luck with your build!

Thanks @msg4asif. I've written in some replies about the indoor/outdoor finish and some of the decisions that we had to make - as we thought that the same flooring in and out would help this concept. We would have loved a narrower track in the floor for the doors to move down to make the finish really clean. This meant hanging the doors from the top, rather than seating them in the floor, in the wider track. It was explained that the door steel/lintel used to hang the bi-fold doors from would have added a lot more cost as it would need to be bigger and stronger. There are also some regulations about drainage away from the extension and what drains needs to be where and at what height.This meant for us that the outside floor is a couple of inches lower than the inside. The same flooring inside and out helps bring the outside in a little, but that extra effort with a narrow track and same height flooring would add to it, but would cost a lot more. In terms of the flooring, we felt porcelain tiles was the way to go. The ones we choose are weatherproof, and appropriate for indoors too (which rules out vinyl, laminate and natural wood). There was some choice at the supplier we used, which was CTD Tiles, who are nationwide (and I do not work for them by the way 🤣) These are some expensive choices that you may have to consider with this whole outdoor-in vision. Let me know what you think, and good luck with your project!

Similar job to mine (which was wider with 2 lanterns). I opted for the steel supporting the opening from the house to be in the ceiling void so the ceiling runs seamlessly into the extension adding to the feel of one room.

@jonnylarge

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply @Jamie Bourne. Funnily enough, we considered several options for this particular steel. I'll just talk about the first option we considered. The part of the old house in between the back garage door and the old kitchen window is a key structure to the old house. We did want a steel across the new opening that continued across the back of the garage. The trouble with this is that we would need a steel across what is now the new location for the hob. Where these two steels meet would need support. As we have the loft converted though, and the weight that generates, this area would have needed a lot of costly strengthening work. Also the steel across that width of the house would have need to be of such a strength, and therefore, height that it's top edge would've been above the back guttering of the garage. This would have needed garage roof work, adding further cost. I mention this it is what has led to the positioning of the current steel. We would have liked the seamless opening but the compromise we have ended up with hasn't worked out too bad.

Getting the plans drawn for mine on Monday, 3.5m x 7m , this will extend the current extension so will end up with a 7m x7m kitchen/living area. It’s scary how much material costs have risen in the last 18 months. All the best Shane.

Thanks @Shane Foster. I'm trying not to rise to them too much 😆. I'm not sure where you're based in the UK, but we are in the home counties which we think adds to our costs. Our space has added 3 x 9m to our home, and made a huge difference to us. We are confident the cost will be recouped in the value of the house, but not necessarily increase it by more than cost. However, we feel it was worth it. We checked with a few neighbours who had work done, with different builders, and our costs were on a par with theirs. So, despite the expense, we felt it was competitive. Don't forget to time lapse yours when you do it!

Tricky one to answer Jamie. We planned this in early 2021 and, during the build in June to September of the same year, materials prices had increased a lot. For example, steel prices had increased 80% - and the three steels that we used were the major cost of the extension. We were lucky that we had got the orders in earlier in the year. I would rather not describe the cost here, but make sure you get three quotations with some quality drawings to cost from if possible.

Hi @Michael Davies. A few others have asked a similar question earlier, so here's the words that I have sent them. Let me know if you have any other questions as I am happy to share... Here's my workflow: I used a GoPro 9, shooting in time-lapse mode, 1 image every five seconds. It was hooked up to an Anker power bank so that it could stay on for a while (I could get 72 hours in warm weather with a 25000MAh bank). Stills were imported into Quicktime on a Mac on a daily basis, and QuickTime can create a rough time lapse at maximum resolution of the still frame just pointing the application at you folder of stills, and it does the rest. A typical day had 5,000 to 8,000 images. My Mac would take several hours, per day, to process this though. Once the project was finished I then bought all the Quicktime time lapses into Adobe Premiere for editing - cutting up, graphic design, adding intro titles and music. A few nuances though - I didn't want to miss the internal fit out as there was so much going on in multiple places, so I shot the kitchen install with an Insta360 One X (mounted on the ceiling - which you can see in this video from some angles). Elsewhere on my channel is the 360 video of this part of the project - same concept of regular stills capture, but edited in Insta360's free "Studio" software - you end up with a KZread video that you can move around within when viewing on KZread. Building on the 'not missing action' theme, for some days when there was a lot going on, I had two GoPros on the go. Mainly the roof work, where not only did I have the original GoPro on a ladder in front, but I used an old GoPro 7 suctioned to one of the upstairs windows facing downwards. This gave me more of an editing headache, but it did provide some good material. For the video here I was able to manipulate the 360 for a fixed view ("reframed") for the portions that I needed to tell this story (particularly in the kitchen). I exported these portions from Insta360 Studio into Premiere (Premiere can native take Insta360 stills, bit it was a bit buggy when I used it) to incorporate into the final video you see. The final shot in this video, over the top of the house, was taken with a drone - a DJL Mavic Air.

Around the 1m 20 mark, N.c., can you see some yellow material placed in between the two walls of grey breeze blocks? That's the insulation.

Pretty freaking sweet man. Well done. What’s next!!?? Haha

Thanks @Christopher Costello. We were thinking a nuclear power station next.

Nice stuff! Any major regrets now it is finished? Why did you put soil over the grass - looks better originally than it does now, but perhaps it needs time to settle in? Looks like the flat roof gets quite dirty, is that annoying looking from your bedroom windows? Perhaps do a living plant roof! Also clean your solar panels they will be so much more efficient and save you money!!

Thanks @nbronco04. Here's a couple of insights: The grass - the build mainly took a few months, completed in late September 2021. One of the last jobs was the outdoor tiling and this was ready to do just as the evenings were turning and the weather was becoming more autumnal. Our tiler did not want to take the risk that it would rain after he had laid them, so we waited until June in 2022 for the tiler to return to guarantee the best job. It meant that the drone footage was taken when we had had one of the driest, warmest summers for years. There wasn't too much good grass anywhere. In the Spring the new grass looked lovely though. Dirt - one of the problems we have with the loft conversion is that doves and pigeons love the flat roof up there. They are responsible for a lot of the dirt that washes off the loft conversion and onto the extension roof. We are taking steps to prevent them getting up there but it is one of the downsides. Every so often we will clean the extension roof, plus - and this is a problem with render - that will need repainting too. We knew this would be needed though. Living Plant Roof - our neighbour (too the right) has one. This would have involved some stronger engineering and a higher parapet to the roof - and neither appealed to us. This GRP looked lovely when it was first added. Solar Panels - I'm not sure that you should clean them? That's guidance that I have read at least. Again, it's those damned birds and the hot weather that have a lot to answer for. We are hoping that the regular rain this Winter is doing us a favour. Regrets - none really. I've written in other replies but I wish it was a cleaner finish - downpipes hidden in the walls, outside tile level the same as the inside floor, the tiling finished off before the Winter of 2021. The first two would have added too much cost for not so much benefit. A specific example would by the tiling level. We would have loved a narrower track for the doors to move down to make the finish really clean. This meant hanging the doors from the top, rather than seating them in the floor. It was explained that the door steel to hang the bi-fold doors from would've added a lot more cost. We were happy to make these compromises. Let me know what you think?

Very good video. Thank you for sharing. I learnt a lot. I kind of feel this project is fairly expensive for a terrace house. It must be around London area.

Thanks @Ozervi ABKV. I am really pleased you learnt something. We're not in London, but in a town in the home counties to the North. We live an an estate full of two, three and four bed houses. Ours is actually a linked-detached, in that we are joined onto our neighbour's garage (on the left hand side). It was expensive but slightly cheaper than moving to a house with the same extra space.

Thus is such a fantastic video of your lovely project. How long did it take from day 1?

Thanks @DerekT. We appointed a builder in February 2021, and the build started in June 2021 - with the majority finished by the end of September 2021. The outdoor tiling had to be completed the following summer as the autumn conditions didn't lend itself to successful tiling. That didn't stop us enjoying the space mind. I presume you meant how long did the build take, and not the video? The video felt like it took just as long 😆.

Thanks @rumbata10. You're not the first to say that! Looking at the data, those three dirty one lose us about 4% energy generation compared to the cleaner row of five.
