The one in the kitchen. The builders are here soon to demolish our real Dining Room, so it is out of use. And the new DT is still in its 13 boxes.
Why are you demolishing?
I'd hazard a guess that like Mrs Snoopy, Mrs Nick sees such things as "Improvements".
Phil, Kirsty and Kevin McCloud have much to answer for. 
Did you think it might be because Nick and I like living in a builders yard and paying out huge sums for the priviledge?
So what style of kitchen is Mrs Snoopy getting once all this is done?
As far as I can make out pretty much like the old one but with everything in new cupboards and in different places.
The general theme seems to be that it will enhance the value and bring up to date a property that I have no intention of selling for at least 15 years by which time it will all be out of date again.
No we have not gone Moben ~ I am not that stupid .... she is getting Ikea and lump it
Some of the work was necessary due to a problem with damp. The insurance took care of that by removing and replacing a ceiling. Unfortunately that decided matters and new everything else was demanded.
Redecoration of Daughter's bedroom (preparation stages) uncovered a further damp problem (the penalty of old houses I'm afraid) which necessitated additional work there. That involved knocking through into an old and disused chimney breast with an accompanying fall of soot into the dining room below. That now needs to be redecorated (and it was only done a few months ago).
AND you want to buy a property ~ you must be mad ... keep renting I'd say and save a fortune. This house will never be mine, despite the "put your money into property" arguments. All that will happen is that I will fork out until the day I die for mortgages, repairs, "improvements" etc etc and the bloody kids will inherit it. They won't want it but will want to sell it and split the cash between them.
Now I think you have the full picture. Forget nest building ~ it's really not worth it.
