I'd remove the wall that used to be under the windows, along with the nib of wall down the side. Then, install Bi-Fold doors. That way you could have the open space when needed as they'd fold flat against the wall, or closed off, when needed - in winter!
we hada very similar situation with an open arch. Over 40years we have tried it open, then with a curtain, then with double doors, then curtain again and finally are happiest with it being open. Double doors seemed like a very good idea, but really they looked daft in the middle of the house. The curtains ended up being drawn open all the time , as did the doors (because of the cats). You may find the same with the doors left open so the dog can wander around.
If I were You! ... I'd get in touch with Elf'n'Safety .... I'm sure they'd LOVE to Sponsor your video's 😂🤣😂 At least you survived NOT having that beam fall on yer bonce ---- Good Luck (Open Space) 👍🤠
I would go for central double French doors with fixed glazing panels either side for symmetry and light transmission. Would be interested in what your plans are longer term with a heating system. At this stage of the renovation maybe you should be considering air source heat pump, with wet underfloor heating and incorporating the underfloor coils now will be less disruptive/damaging and expensive than x years down the line.
From having a similar situation to resolve when renovating my own home, I would advise you to remove the brick wall below the window and then live with it open for a few weeks before you take any decision. You get to see if you like it. In my case I came up with the perfect layout for a difficult room after several weeks of walking past the space every day. I would never have come up with the Idea if I'd not turned the space into a blank canvas first 👍
I would definitely add a big set of glass doors with glass panels either side. We made our house very open plan downstairs, and it definitely has drawbacks in the winter months. Have you thought about adding a velux sun tunnel or roof light to the hall?
Hi Vikkie, you have do a great job of removing the window and door. Double doors would look good there and keep the heat in your living room, Great video👍
I think the double doors idea works well depending what's at your Dads, it definataly looks a bit brighter there now i think how dark the window frame and that beam was, just made the area look too dark if that makes any sense ha ha ha. You will have to get Mr TCD to talk, grunt or say something when you ask him a question, heck even the dog is talking in a way when your asking about food, he has even barked before now ha ha ha. Take Care you are both doing a great job on the Bungalow. Barry (the Wirral)
It looks like I’m the only fan of opening it all up. I love open plan spaces, but, if it impacts your heating negatively, I’d agree with some type of door, but lots of glass please.
I think I'd go for glass doors, as that room is dark, but if you need/want another bedroom, then you'll have to think about lighting. Great show, as always.
I'd go for double glass doors in the middle with matching panels on either side to maximise the amount of light. I did think about perhaps bifold doors across the whole width but those take up a fair amount of space when open and can be a pain.
Great 👍 removal of that hideous window and door 🚪 Wasted space Yes 👍 I would build another bedroom / spare room Smaller entry with a hall table and hooks for coats 🧥 shoes 👞 doggie 🐶 leads etc Absolutely loving your channel Have a good week Cheers 🥂 Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
*Looking at the plan... Make the kitchen and dinning around into one big room... with a big island in it. So then you can also entertain in that area. 🙂 So the short wall that you have been left with... remove... but extend the wall in the hallway along to where it says CPD on the plan. 🙂 Lots of people enter in thru the kitchen door in a house 🙂 Then you wont have to walk so far with dishes and plates etc to the dinning room... 🙂 I hope that all kinda makes sense 🙂 Which means that can have the perfect kitchen/dinning room area that you have always wanted 🙂nz*
It makes a nice open space and flows nicely. I'm not really a fan of double doors they just end up being left open most of the time. That being said a lot of people go too open plan. I opened up my dining room and living room but made the conscious decision to leave a small sofa lengthed bit of all to separate the front door from the living room and have a door creating a vestibule for isolation from the weather in winter. If you plan on going underfloor heating it's probably not that bad as long as you don't have drafts, the heating is much more even throughout.
Well done Vicky. I’m leaning towards leaving it open plan but I don’t think you can really make your mind up until the wall comes down. Getting rid of all the dark wood has made a real difference! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕
Thanks so much for your thought. And I agree... I'm still set on double doors too. It'd be nice to have to choice to close it for a more enclosed and cosy feel to the room
Hi Vikkie, jobs always take longer and are more irritating than you expect. Fascinating to see how people used to install stuff, I mean nails !. You did a neat job of keeping it fairly tidy, looks good now it's gone and I would defo go with double doors given how close the front door is.
We have a very similar arrangement with our dining room and we installed glazed double doors which fold flat against the walls either side, but can be closed. This not only keeps the heat in, but it makes the dining room feel like a room rather than a passageway. For additional light have you considered installing a sun tube in the dining room?
Double pocket doors! Had them in a previous house and they were brilliant. Open when we wanted openness, closed when we wanted to trap the heat (but glass, so they still let light through).
Just my opinion...... I would put in double doors, so that every time you open the front door on a cold day, the cold air is confined to the hallway corridor, and cold air doesnt waft into that great big open plan room. Thank you for another very good video.
Vikkie I am so jealous. I used to love doing a bit of demolition work back in the day. (I was 70 on Saturday). The head thinks I can still do it.....the body says otherwise. Still got all the tools though! Never say never. You and hubby are doing a cracking job with that place. I love watching the progress. ❤😊
Almost saw Mr TCD! A dark reflection, a hand, a foot, and a bit of arm! Very slow reveal! 😄 Also well done on editing out the cursing, I bet that cut the video by at least 10 minutes! 😂
Great video Vikkie loved watching the Demolition and now I'm looking forwards to the next video - just one small suggestion add a couple of flat pry bars to your arsenal as I know from experience they come in quite handy when your crowbar is struggling and are also great for removing skirting boards ect without damaging the wall.
Is your floor concrete? If not I'd consider putting the kitchen in the dining room with a light well and turning the kitchen into another 4th bedroom with en-suite (the plumbing is already there in the 'cloaks'). You could open out the bed 2 into the kitchen and all round the central fire chimney breast. With a bungalow there's so little holding up the roof there are almost too many options but a concrete floor would prevent a lot of plumbing and waste routes. Loving your progress.
Depends on how much of a grand entrance way you want? I would make it another bedroom and add a door in the dining room. Is there another outside door in the kitchen/ utility area? The porch area by the lounge can be the main front door/ hallway mud room.
Without the bow window, I quite like the size and shape of the opening. What are your thoughts about glass blocks to let light in but close some of the "window" space?
It's crazy how many woodworking or renovation youtubers have no idea how to remove flathead screws it's simple u just get yhe right size flat screw bit and tickle the screw qitha impact driver.
A lit glass display cabinet wall in a modern Japanese or Scandinavian style would look beautiful in that space. Maybe part of it could move to use as a door opening into the rear end of the hallway so it would look good open or closed or a hidden door at the entry side.
Disassembling correctly is just as important as assembling. You have less mess and less repair after. I wonder if the lounge was an add on. Originally I think the window you just took out was where the opening between the lounge and dining room is. That meant the dining room was the original living room. I hope that makes sense. I’d cut the half wall down and put French doors in the center of the opening. I think that getting light from the outside is impossible in the dining room. Also do you really want a door to the dining room in a dark hallway? It’s already dark in there. You really want people invited over to have the easiest access to the dining room, lounge, powder room and the front door. Yes right now you aren’t doing a lot of entertainment, but that might change. Setting a house up correctly for flow does help with resale value too. Having a proper entry hall is really nice for not just entertainment, but also to break up the rooms and does help with the transfer of heat when opening the front door. Here in the desert southwest of America, we deal with scorching heat, this week it was 118°f. Right now we live in a small house having moved to be near our kids and grandchildren. The front door opens directly into the living room. And the heat comes in. Just little things to think about. Can’t wait for the next video.
When ever I do any maintenance or upgrades in my apartment, I throw away all the slotted screws and even cross or Philips head screws I come across, and replace them with Torx crews. My sister is selling her house to move somewhere she can get a job, and we've been doing a few updates to increase the value of the building. And every piece of trim around the ceilings is made of MDF! Even the trim in the bathroom. Yeah, it was a mess. I replaced that with proper wood trim. Normally you can't do anything to a bathroom that will add more value to a building than what you paid for the materials, but in that case... We did as bit of wall painting outside(regular maintenance, really) And I stripped and repainted the wrought Iron railing on the stairs outside. Wire brush on a battery-powered grinder(needs lots of batteries and chargers... )then hammerrite paint. The old paint was peeling and the white was mostly brown from rust. Oil radiators... They're bl**dy dangerous! When they get a few years old the metal can crack because of fatigue, and spill hot oil all over. A genuine fire hazard.
What about sliding barn style doors? I have one in my bedroom, you could use the doors your dad has and put them on barn rails, i think that would look incredible plus you can keep them slid fully open, if you want an open aspect, it would be a good compromise for what each of you prefers. Google them, i think youll really like them! (If i had a house as large as yours id definitely have more!)
That window looked weird. It almost looked like that wall was originally an outside wall. But looking at the plans, it doesn't seem so. Maybe the window was recycled from somewhere else.
That claw hammer. Best left in toolbox in favour of the Lump hammer. But as you're right handed . The way you were working looked extremely awkward. To draw stubborn nails put a piece of wood behind the hammer for more leverage. 😂😂
I'd like to see you wearing gloves doing this sort of work. Your hands, and the rest of you, are precious!! Also, try to get in the habit of holding the hammer as far away from the head as possible, more power from each strike. Keep it up - long way to go!
I like it open plan and I would take the half wall out too. Looking at is practically, the price of fuel swerves me to doors as you have the back or front door in the room. You could compromise and put pocket doors in so in the summer they can disappear into the wall and in the winter have them closed up. Other option would be take the half wall down as already suggested and build a vestibule in front of the front/back door. On another topic, large mirrors facing windows are great for reflecting light.
I know it's subjective but, for me, whilst I know open plan is more fashionable, closed rooms with doors are more thermally efficient and personally I just prefer having compartmented spaces. I fully expect to be in the minority on this though. At the end of the day, you have to do what you like best!
If you can't decide if you want doors or open...what about curtains? Keeps the heat in and can be changed easier if the decor is altered. I know curtains aren't for everyone, but it's another option. I remember when my mum and I removed some fake tudor style ceiling beams. I had the brainwave to use a cheap (but sharp) forstner bit to drill out a 25mm hole where the screws were. Made it much easier to find and get the screws out as it was a much bigger diameter hole so gave more leeway...either found the screw with the point so just had a tiny bit of wood to scrape out of the way, or caught the head with the bladed part of the forstner bit. Destroyed two bits by the end, but it was worth the cost compared to the amount of time and frustration it saved!
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK they should be, although I haven't used them for that. We use them at work when handling tungsten carbide slitting blades, so I'd expect them to be thorn resistant, as well as nails, splinters etc.
Leave it open plan No Door. Ok I love your channel and have been watching for years so please don't be offended by this. But I finally have to ask doesn't your husband finds it insulting the way you refer to him as (MR T.C.D) l know I would.
Glass double doors in the middle, stud walls either side with insulation because of the front door

This lady does not even wear gloves doing demolitions.. She is a fighter :)
You could repurpose the doors and windows for the garden..a cold frame or another green house perhaps...❤
I like those ideas!

Really struggling to get myself motivated in this weather 🤷. Damn wind rain and cold, wish this "summer" would give us a break!
And now it's so hot, it's a struggle to work at an efficient pace 😅😅
I loved this video. Really interesting seeing how it was put together.
I think the double doors (provided they are nice) are the way to go
Love all those "just pulled myself up in the nick of time" swearing moments.

Great work vikkie! In future if you need to drill out a screw head you'll need cobalt drills or you'll find your HSS drills snapping
What a bizarre bow feature. Maybe they liked playing tuck shop or post offices through the window 😂
Mr TCD keeps revealing more and more. His hand was in a previous episode several weeks ago. When is his grand reveal? 🤣
Well done Vicky. I’m leaning towards leaving it open plan but I don’t think you can really make your mind up until the wall comes down. Getting rid of all the dark wood has made a real difference! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💕
It looks better without it. I think I would go for double doors. Not just for controlling temperature but also sound.
Thanks so much for your thought. And I agree... I'm still set on double doors too. It'd be nice to have to choice to close it for a more enclosed and cosy feel to the room

My childhood home was opposite the John Carr factory. In a place called silver end in essex. There is a housing estate there now
Ah.. did they go out of business in the end?
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK yes can’t remember when. Factory stood empty for a long time then mysteriously caught fire and burnt down
Great video Vikkie loved watching the Demolition and now I'm looking forwards to the next video - just one small suggestion add a couple of flat pry bars to your arsenal as I know from experience they come in quite handy when your crowbar is struggling and are also great for removing skirting boards ect without damaging the wall.
i keep it open but put more isolation to the wall of th front door. keep good work
Love watching your progress 😃
Go for it. Can change it again. For now you’re already going that route. Why stop? Going back to change it in three years is more content! Haha
I like the wider look because I think putting small french doors will only look darker in the room.
Is your floor concrete? If not I'd consider putting the kitchen in the dining room with a light well and turning the kitchen into another 4th bedroom with en-suite (the plumbing is already there in the 'cloaks').

Great job Very interesting with that internal brick wall.
The jamb jammed: it was not falsely advertised!
Depends on how much of a grand entrance way you want? I would make it another bedroom and add a door in the dining room. Is there another outside door in the kitchen/ utility area? The porch area by the lounge can be the main front door/ hallway mud room.
Would double pocket doors be a better option? That would sort out the need for door swing radius impacting the useable room area. Great videos.
Without the bow window, I quite like the size and shape of the opening. What are your thoughts about glass blocks to let light in but close some of the "window" space?
I thought about them, but wondered if it would look equally as dated 🤔 I'm not opposed to them though
Oooooo I love the look of your chisel. I hit my hand with mine
Here's part 2 where I knock the wall out and skim it! ua-cam.com/video/T4rilxaUIqI/v-deo.html
I would turn the dining room and bedroom two into one big kitchen and the old kitchen turned into a bedroom🤔
100% That would be the proper modern way of dividing the house between public and private spaces.
It's crazy how many woodworking or renovation youtubers have no idea how to remove flathead screws it's simple u just get yhe right size flat screw bit and tickle the screw qitha impact driver.
Would ditch the double doors idea and go with some custom carpentry with some nice architrave
It looks ace as open plan. I would leave it fully open. Great video again BTW.

A lit glass display cabinet wall in a modern Japanese or Scandinavian style would look beautiful in that space. Maybe part of it could move to use as a door opening into the rear end of the hallway so it would look good open or closed or a hidden door at the entry side.
I’d keep a door. For heat retention and also as a sound barrier to the bedrooms. We all know how wuthering it can be in England.

Torx are the best
Two words. Massive aquarium.
Do you need 3 bedrom? If not, I would make badrom 3 to hallway and the hall and kitchen to A new Big kitchen😅
Ask @DearModern . What’s a good idea for their space? Seems like a nice big space to work with. I’m sure you can come up with a great idea.

"crittal windows" type door are very on trend but pricey
I hate slotted screws! 😵💫
Pocket doors 100%
Wish evolution just ‘gifted’ me some tools!
No disassemble No 5! LOL.
It's tight down here.... Gigidy
🤣🤣
I'm with Mr TCD, I'd leave it open. Make sure you get the heating sorted before winter!
That window looked weird. It almost looked like that wall was originally an outside wall. But looking at the plans, it doesn't seem so. Maybe the window was recycled from somewhere else.
That claw hammer. Best left in toolbox in favour of the Lump hammer. But as you're right handed . The way you were working looked extremely awkward. To draw stubborn nails put a piece of wood behind the hammer for more leverage. 😂😂
A partial retroish glass block wall?
How about pocket doors.
What a bizarre monstrosity that thing was!
I'd like to see you wearing gloves doing this sort of work. Your hands, and the rest of you, are precious!! Also, try to get in the habit of holding the hammer as far away from the head as possible, more power from each strike. Keep it up - long way to go!
Do you think we should add doors or leave it open plan?
Add doors , If there was enough light coming through i would have said leave it open. but doors help separate the rooms and keep the heat in!
I like it open plan and I would take the half wall out too. Looking at is practically, the price of fuel swerves me to doors as you have the back or front door in the room. You could compromise and put pocket doors in so in the summer they can disappear into the wall and in the winter have them closed up. Other option would be take the half wall down as already suggested and build a vestibule in front of the front/back door. On another topic, large mirrors facing windows are great for reflecting light.
I'd definitely add doors. I think you might find it cold in the winter if you left it open.
That would depend on how much money you have. Heating that room, the dining area and the hallway might be somewhat costly ...
Why is the really shonky stuff (like this window) so firmly fixed? 😅
I know it's subjective but, for me, whilst I know open plan is more fashionable, closed rooms with doors are more thermally efficient and personally I just prefer having compartmented spaces. I fully expect to be in the minority on this though. At the end of the day, you have to do what you like best!
#metoo. Fashions change and energy prices rise.
I'm with you all the way . Never a big fan of open plan and a lot of people are now regretting opening everything up.
Vikkie you are some girl like the fact that nothing bothered and you get the job done
How dare you, don't you know that this is the warmest July for 240,023 years!
Fact checked by bbc!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🥶🥶

Ummm...going by the 'interestingcwork' you've found so far, there's no chance that gallows thing was structural support, is there?
Is Mr TCD in witness protection and therefore you can’t show his face?
or maybe he doesn't want to. Not everyone feels comfortable on camera.
You soundrey use that as a fireplace mantle
I'd recommend Kevlar safety gloves when doing this type of work, they should protect against puncture wounds etc. Great work again btw. ☺️
Thanks! Are they could to avoid bramble and rose bush thorns?
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK they should be, although I haven't used them for that. We use them at work when handling tungsten carbide slitting blades, so I'd expect them to be thorn resistant, as well as nails, splinters etc.

use 3 glass sliding doors for maximum light
