Hi, I've got a stone outhouse, and no space in the house for all our children, So I thought maybe I could convert this to an ensuite room for the oldest one. It's basically a lean-to, against the garden wall, which is the same age (150 yrs+) as the outhouse. It needs extending as it's currently too narrow. I think it will require planning consent as it's only a couple of metres from the (already extended) house. The (oil) boiler for the house is in there too, so I'll have to make a decision about getting it moved or leaving it in there. It's got electricity and plumbing as it also houses the washing mchine, drier and freezer. The main drain inspection cover for the house is about 0.5m away from the door.
I dont have the money to get the whole job done professionally, and am willing to learn the skills needed myself. But where do I start? Which bits must be done by a professional? Which bits can I learn by surfing the net for tips? And which bits do I need to attend classes before I tackle? And lastly, how do I go about planning so many different tasks! And which ones do I do/get done first?
