Further Demolition

We had agreed what we needed to do with the builder so that he could come and put the new floor in downstairs. Essentially act as labourers and get the old floor out. What we hadn't realised was that under the bathroom concrete floor was solid rock. Not in itself a bad thing, but not so good when you have to dig down another metre (just over 3ft) so that the floor level is the same throughout the downstairs. It is hard work, especially knowing that when you have finished somebody else is going to come along and fill it back in again! Perhaps we shouldn't have the underfloor heating in this room which incidentally will no longer be the bathroom but an entrance hall! We go with the heating, much better than radiators everywhere. The builder arrives and begins to put a floor back into the house. 4 days and two lorry loads of concrete and its in. Willow signs it by walking over it before it was dry!

Next job is to take the old cement tile roof off, no rest for the wicked....
