Hi Guys;

Below is some pics of a semi major reno we have just completed for a client, it was done in two stages, the front of the house was converted to new bedrooms / en suite enclose veranda's, all new Sydney Bluegum Flooring etc, while the occupants lived in the rear of the house, then we moved them into the front part and ripped the back of the house apart.

Back part consisted of destruction of 6 rooms inc Laundry, Kitchen, old garage which was being used as a bedroom, house was double brick construction,all 6 rooms had to go an be converted in to one huge room, new bi folds and new pergola, What are your thoughts on the results
