Stripping out - Thick lime plaster walls, lath & plaster ceilings & internal walls.
Filthy, noisy, dusty work.
Demolishing - the sun room & old outside loo & larder - Spot the difference.
Front & back garden - 4 trees removed & huge shrubs drastically pruned. Stump grinder for massive Lime tree.
Help - I need a landscape gardener to tell me what to do!
Boarding Out -All the internal outside walls are well insulated under the plasterboard.
Bricking in - the old side door. A new one will go where the window is.
New Foundations - Literally & metaphorically.
Message from the past - Done in 1950, something to do with papering the room.
It's definitely all been a learning curve. Always interesting, sometimes exciting, sometimes frustrating & occasionally quite depressing. But the people I have working for me are amazing & hard working. I'm really grateful for their practical experience & knowledge.
Who knows when it will be finished though.
