    Glad my bungalow wasn't in that condition when I got it, would take me a week just to get the roof off!

    Although my neighbour has been doing similar work to you, but he's been at it 4-5 years now.
    He must be doing it all himself then eh? There is alot of work to be done here, but overall it shouldn't take longer than a year.

    The builder has been tonight, had a look at the plans.
    The scaffolding is going up this week and he is starting the demolition a week today

    Demolition? Guessing it's being knocked down and having a whole new build?

    No no, it's got a twin chimney breast at the minute which we're getting rid of, and some internal brick walls that we're doing the same, and the roof has got to come up and get chopped into bits and turned into fire wood for the log burner.

    So, works started earlier than I thought! I drove past this morning to find the builders already on the job. They had a weeks work cancelled so could start mine earlier....

    Obviously didn't have my camera with me....



    Popped back at dinner time....



    And after work...





    The rest of the chimney stack will be down tomorrow, as well as the ceilings and some of the retaining walls ready to be rebuilt hopefully.

    Cracking on now
