Week Six: Demolition Days

Alan and Pat's second week on the job and lots of rubble about!  A combination of tiles gradually being taken off the roof (some saved for use on the Garden Room); a chimney being demolished; half of the back wall being removed; the old toilet and bathroom being knocked into one room; and the old kitchen/hall doorway being knocked out to open up the new hallway ...

 

This will be our new kitchen

 

This will be the entrance hall

 

This will be the downstairs bathroom

(the washing machine is very helpfully plumbed in for the duration of the build)

One of Emma's friends came to play yesterday and, on seeing inside the half-demolished house, said: "I can't believe that was your old bedroom - what did you go and do that for?"  Emma's grumpy reply: "I didn't"!  Hopefully she'll come round, in time ...
