Demolition time

The first bit of work we did on the first floor (that's the floor above the ground floor) was to demolish the back bedroom and bathroom to create the space for a new en suite bedroom.  I think the photos probably say it all. Loads of rubble and dust and lots of trips to the tip.  One of the funniest moments was when Dan and Hayley where up for the weekend.  It was one Sunday morning when G was waiting for a civilised time to start work which was to demolish the existing bathroom.  Instead of checking if anyone was in there before he started he just took a sledge hammer to the wall.  Poor Hayley was in the bathroom brushing her teeth at the time when the hammer came through the wall! 

In addition to all the destruction the window at the end of the bedroom had to be removed and replaced with a slimmer obscure one as this was to become the new bathroom and in order to fit the shower and toilet in the small space the big window had to go.   Some of the photos show the new window.

Next time I post I will show some of the rebuilding and the new shower room that has been built at the far end.  You can see from the photos the outline of the corridor and old bathroom.  The new en-suite shower room has been built at the far end by the window.  I am so far behind with this blog.  It feels like ages ago that we were doing this.
