WIP photos are on the way, i'm having about as much fun with photobucket as i am with my bloody kitchen!
These pics are the first part of the project which was to knock the walls out to open the place up. The middle pic is taken from reverse angle. I got a builder in to take the woodwork out as i didnt want to do anything structural but i ripped out the gyprock and saved myself $900
Kitchen pics will follow once i finish the job!

This is pretty much what my kitchen looks like at the moment. After the walls were done, i ripped the lino off (wish i found this forum for some advice back then:mad: ) and then the wall tiles, and the floor tiles in my laundry. I'm getting the laundry, kitchen, dining, lounge, toilet and entry all tiled after the kitchen is installed. Then i think i'll have a year off before i tackle the bathroom, then the patio, then the exposed brick in the bedrooms, then the.....

Funny you should mention those double arches, when i first looked at buying the place i thought they were great, making the dining room seperate.
Guess things 'grow' on you once you have to live with them everyday.

Great, did you find your studs yet? I reckon there will be one on that join in the gyprock, and then somewhere between 450 and 600 either side of that. You could drill holes in the gyprock below the height of your new benches and then cover them up with the cupboards. Dont drill above power points though.

it all looks so familiar we did the same as you last year but got a bit of a shock when we removed some giprock, we found a dead possium that had been there a for quite a few years (20 yrs ish).

Jdub - nice to see the space it created - was the trend of making lots of small rooms in a house real estate agents continuing a myth - or did people really want seperate loung, living, dining, and a kitchen?
Here's hoping that all those brand new federation style places built in the 90's and beyo0nd get a serious renovation sometime in the future as well - same fate as yellow benchtops and fake wood wrap kitchen cupboards got....
