Monday and a bank holiday. What better way to spend it than knocking a hole in a wall. |
|
|
|
Ceilings are now held up with scaffold poles. |
|
|
It's like living in a Greek temple. |
|
|
Tuesday kicked off with a delivery. I got them to drop it over the hedge into the front garden. |
|
with the ceilings propped I could saw the end of the ceiling joist so the walls could be built up. |
|
Old wall plate is now removed.
Wall plate is the timber that sits on top of the wall and the roof sits onto.
|
|
Wednesday and the Builders were back off holiday. First job was to sort out the mess I made in the kids bedroom. Brick up the old window opening and position the window in the hole. |
|
Thursday and the first floor wall could now be started along with the rebuild chimney. |
|
|
|
Notice the cantilever to turn a non cavity wall into a cavity wall. |
|
I made the profiles for the windows for the bathrooms. |
|
|
Friday and the wall on the other side is started. |
|
There wasn't much for us to do this weekend other than tidy up a bit.
