Current project is creating a new kitchen at the same time taking part of the garage to create a utility area and putting in a couple of RSJ's to extend the dining area and be able to put in a concertina patio door. Oh and making a vaulted ceiling in the kitchen, this is a previous extension to the property.
So far, so good - ceiling and utility areas sorted and lintels and new patio doors in with the plasterers x 4 on site so nice dry weather - not humid - please.Monday 27th June will see the new kitchen go in and the old kitchen be re-arranged in the utility room ready for templating for the quartz worktops towards the end of the week.
The vaulted ceiling has had its challenges with airflow/ventilation and insulation to current building regulations, in fact the client has had a change of heart on having spot lights.
There was the option of making part of the ceiling flat with part vaulted and all sorts of ideas on how we could batten out and lower the ceiling to accommodate the spotlights and then the client looked at the track light options and found some pretty funky and fun options.
Spotlights have their place but I can't help but thinking they are a bit of a "must have without thinking" nowadays. My opinion, and is mine and belongs to me, is they are a pain! They are nearly all different sizes, once the hole is cut and your ceiling ruined, it's go bigger and they can be fiddly to change the lamps.
There are hundreds of lighting options out there so lets all be a bit more creative. Spots have their place, mainly on teenagers and insects!
