Many years ago I had the store door walled up and the side wall demolished to create a space of a open concept wardrobe. Now the idea is I need more space, so I intend to have that wall knocked down and my current door area removed therefore creating one open space and moving the door to the archway area you can see in the foreground of the picture. The existing doorway into the other room on the right will be my new walk in closet...3 or 4 feet into that door way I will erect a wall/prob from drywall(gypsum board) and metal/wood frame. And another access door will have to be created in living room to provide access to the other part of that room.

I am hoping to use this thread to document the process, get recommendations for contractors and granite specialists etc.

The wall side view:

Also you can see from the last pic above 3 slabs of granite from each side of the wall would have to be replaced to make the floor look proper again. I have 2 slabs I can use to do a simple patch up job but it will ruin the look of the whole floor.

anyone suggestion? recommendations?

wow..just wondering if it is worth it to knock down, seal up, break open another door opening.. and ruin the floor just for that little space more?

it wont come cheap right???

*no offense..just wondering nial*

I wouldnt expect it to cost too how much can 6 pieces of granite and labour cost..... and that little space will make a HUGE difference seeing how little space I have to begin with. I expect the removal of the wall the fixing of the floor and the creation of the new door ways and false wall in the other room to cost no more than 2K and 3 if I am going for special door frames and doors. which I intend to do... especially for my room I want as sound proof a door as possible. I am expecting a quote next week I'll update

Any luck on quotes yet? What's the cost of the granite and can you get it to match the rest of the floor? I want to do something similar to my kitchen. Removing an island and will need to put granite where it used to be.
