Hello "acsicsila",

SUCH a technical question for a landscape design installed years ago!
Most important is that you honor your design concept with correct design decisions.

From your HOUZZ Portfolio I noticed you collected photos of similar slides from other landscape contractors. If you are a do-it-yourself homeowner then simply Google "Playground slide equipment" at your location to get advice and specifications from local vendors. If not, trust your preferred landscape contractor to assist you in these decisions.

Safety, Good Fun and Practicality in Design will drive this answer.

Feel free to call me directly for best advice.

Warmest Regards, Greg Davis 310-558-5544

This is what the exterior looks like so far. We have been approved planning permission to extend single storey, front and side With sky lantern. we are set on a flat roof with wildflower and sedum. Considering keeping the tiles. front door will be moved forward and there will be a window on the left. Not sure what the new render should be for the extension? Brick ? Trying to keep all costs down but Still have a Clean and contemporary finish...... I realise now I should have been braver with the windows! Tut tut!!!

I am currently going through the same thing! It was so hard to work out where to start. We started from a blank sheet and got an architect involved (mistake in our case) but he designed to his own brief not ours and even I could see that what he proposed would cost double the amount we wanted to spend so we walked away. We went back to the drawing board starting from a sensible 'let's keep as much of what is there as we can' I.e existing external walls. It's so easy to move a wall when all you have to do is rub out the pencil line and move it but think about the work involved in every change as labour is where most of your budget will go. Also try to keep existing plumbing and electrics positions if relevant. And on the heating/ rewire, do you need a complete rewire or just a new fuse box? Do you need to replace all radiators and pipes or just the boiler? Trying to reduce the work a little in each area will help reduce the cost. To give you an idea of part of the cost, perhaps get a quote on the boiler and electrics separate from the renovation to give you a ball park figure for that? I was also desperately impatient but it's taken me a year of obsessing and making mistakes to get to the stage we are at now! I have drawn so many scale plans (on graph paper), I've drawn CAD drawings which really helped but were time consuming, and I've walked around our house trying to imagine the size and shape of different options a hundred times! Although frustrating, after all that thought and discussions with dh, we've now got a great layout we are really happy with, it's sensible and shouldn't cost the earth. But it took time. Ps. We're aiming for an ikea kitchen too (we now live in Australia so far fewer options here!) but my brother has just done a huge renovation and got his kitchen from diy-kitchens.com and it looks amazing. Good luck and take your time to plan, it's much cheaper to do all your changes before you get to building stage!

Nicely drawn bookworm and Jonathan, very nice! I like the idea of less rooms and division. If there is room spatially your plan could be nice, as a consideration re the ratio of beds to loo/bath/shower rooms could indeed increase. With the idea of two more rooms upstairs and another bathroom. Possibly keeping the downstairs as a closet/shower/loo. I also like your walk in utility which would be gr8 as a larder with ff next to it at the start of the galley run.. Gr8 ideas Jonathan and Bookworm which of course takes in to account what I said about planning the whole project so it's done once, even phased works are planned as a complete job. Given the awkward proximity of current bathroom, it's probably inevitable that it would have to move. It's not impossible but if it allows for optimum design spatially then it's worth doing and relocation can be duplicated on the floor above to benefit. :))

Redoing my dining room which I would love to change into a kitchen family room but kitchen is relatively new hence stuck with renovating just the dining room. Switching from dark wood furniture to a more modern look. I have really a blank canvas but a complete mental block, need some help with picking furniture. Kitchen is a very soft green, livingroom is beige with accents of blue Was looking for modern pictures, colourful rug, and ideas for windows. The dining room has two large windows. Any ideas would be helpful. House is late 18th century, semi listed but modern. There are 4 doors in the dining room all painted white with white skirting boards and wooden floors. Would like a real wooden table, something of a talking point, then can move forward. Any help welcome
