Beach huts
Taken at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex on 21 February 2009.

Today Walton beach is lined with beach huts and cafes, and despite many improvements and modernisations, it still retains much of the charm and flavour of its Victorian heyday.
Around the beginning of the 19th Century, Walton started to become a seaside resort.
As the medical benefits of sea air and salt water were promoted, Walton boomed and began to rival other towns like Southend for popularity.
The huts are owned by individuals and organisations, including charity groups, who pay an annual site licence fee to place them on a Council owned site. In addition to the site licence fee, the Licensee is required to pay National Non Domestic Rates.
If you are interested in buying one, prices range from ?6,000 to ?25,000!
Typical hut features this:
Interior
10' 3" x 7' 7" (3.12m x 2.31m) Work surfaces inset a stainless steel drainer sink with cupboards over and beneath. Vinyl flooring, gas cooker, seating area. Price ?6,500.
Sinkside
The sink side of the layout. I was going to do countertop where the wall oven is. But, when shopping for a range, I just couldn't get into it and finally realized I HAVE to have a wall oven - I got spoiled. Still, I'm gaining 5 ft of countertop overall in the renovation, so I'm happy.
To compensate for losing that counter top with the wall oven, I treated myself to stainless DW and wall oven, the highest end items that fit the budget. I bought a Kitchenaid convection with the pretty blue interior and the ball bearing full extension gliding racks. I also treated myself to the Sharp MW drawer.
On the very left is cubbies for baskets. Next to that is a base cabinet with appliance pull outs (my mixer, slow cooker and toaster). Next to the sink is a garbage pull out and drawer base. I think this will make me happy. The cabinet maker left the doors off this photo so I could see how the cabinets look on the inside. They're frameless.
