House Plans

This is for anyone interested to see what the house plan looks like and to see what we have done and how it all fits together. If you use this in conjunction with the photos already posted you should be able to figure your way around. In all pics, top is roughly north.

The "before" plan clearly shows the layout of the ground floor. From the start of the passageway by our bedroom and the current bathroom, down to the loo door, is around 9 meters. We just figured out that the ground floor (240) plus the room we will eventually have upstairs gives us a floor space of around 380 square meters.

The upstairs is currently just open space apart from one centre support wall and nothing is lined etc. The upstairs is shown by the red outline (below) - the plan is eventually to make 2 large bedrooms, an office for Wouter and a spacious bathroom area. There will also be a service duct in the (north) space close to the roofline as this area is not high enough to stand in - even for littlies like me!

Beside the back bedroom is another bedroom which will be sacrificed to make the stairway up, plus the new bathroom and loo.

In the laundry you can see 2 steps down, and then to the left of that, a few stairs - this leads down to the cellar. As the bottom of the cellar is below ground level, Wouter had to pump it out a few days ago as the ground water level is quite high at the moment, being end of winter/early spring. Wouter says you can see it's happened more often as there are marks on the concrete showing earlier levels as well as a place for a pump (which was removed before we got here).

This last picture shows what we have already worked on and completed.
