Following on from yesterday's post, here's the kitchen again.
In the corner, the previous owners located the water heater/boiler. We toyed with the idea of moving it, or atleast changing the access to it from the other direction (from the living room instead of the kitchen) but that would have involved moving a lot of plumbing. A LOT OF PLUMBING. Which was far more trouble than it was worth. So leaving it as is, it initially created a bit of an obstacle in the kitchen design but in the end, it actually doesn't really impact on the kitchen too much. We hope that once the door goes on it, it'll just look like another cupboard or pantry type door.
As you can see in the original picture, there's another chimney breast to be knocked out behind that wall. And the sofa is just odd. We couldn't move it out of the kitchen until the walls/door were knocked out to make enough room for it to fit through. How they got it in there to begin with is beyond me! Speculation is that it came in through the windows when they got replaced ... but why into the kitchen????

| Central opening knocked through and steel joist and concrete in place for support |
 |
| Wall knocked and chimney out. See all the plumbing off the boiler. That was going nowhere! |
 |
A bit of stonework going up on one side of the central opening. All the stone
came from the thick walls that were knocked down! |

| And again ... TA DA! |
