Yesterday saw the complete removal of floorboards in the back bedroom (barring the ones under the built-in wardrobe), the insulation and BRC being laid for the porch, the outside tap installed, the water main feed cored through the bathroom wall, the gas main feed cored through the kitchen wall, and an attempt was made to address two leaks.
Today.. well, the ceiling in the living room came down before 8 am. The builder and his mate now need to de-nail the joists and treat the ones that are in reasonable shape, plus replace the three or four that absolutely have to go. There’s a possibility we can open up the slope above the stairs while all this is going on, which would stop me hitting my head every time I go up/down the stairs.
Kango work to get the trench in for the tap New outside tap! New steel brace for the porch beam DPC in place for the front door Insulation and BRC down Insulation and BRC down Newly cored gas pipe, plus rad pipes Electrics and water main cored into the wall New gas shutoff inside the house One of the leak sources Some of the new joists Door back in place Builder’s mate vanishing into the dust You know, perhaps a wall of glass, remove the joists… Yay, old damp Old ceiling – the plasterboard was crumbling The pile of stuff This was a floorboard between kitchen and living room
