The skylight before removing the surround frame. |
Another view of the skylight. |
Cutting the gyprock to cover the hole. |
The replacement timbers are in place. |
The hole was not square and the edges not straight, so it took a while to get the sheet to fit. |
All screwed in place, now to fill the gap and sand smooth. |
Our New Kitchen
The time has come to completely rework our kitchen. This will involve in this order, but that could change.
- Rip up floor tiles.
- Repair/replace the hole in the ceiling where the sky light was.
- Remove the sliding door and frame.
- Remove all of the existing benches, sinks, cupboards, stove and cook top.
- Remove exhaust fan and replace that section of ceiling.
- Get contractor to put in new gas pipe for the new gas hob.
- Get contractor to put in new power point for the microwave.
- Repaint all walls and ceilings.
- Install new cupboards and benches.
- Buy new stove, range-hood, dishwasher, microwave.
- Get the custom bench top measured and fitted.
- Install electrical appliances.
- Rip up the tiles in the passage way, and pull up the carpets in the dining and family rooms.
- Lay new floor tiles in all of those rooms.
- Take care of anything else that pops up along the way.
Once that has been completed we will knock the bar down in the lounge room and convert the alcove behind the bar into a cupboard to store the DVD player and the DVD's we have.
Please check back every now and then to check our progress.

It's quite impressive seeing you DIYing the skylight. Skylight has a lot of benefits. It helps you decrease your electricity bills, provides your home more light than the usual windows, and it improves your mood brought by the natural light. I hope that you have installed the skylight properly, otherwise, it will only be a trouble. Keep safe!
