Day 0 - demolitions largely completed

Mark spent last week ripping out the inside of the back part of the house with the help of my Dad, Bennyboy and Neil.  Now when you pee you can see the roof from the ground floor.  We discovered a crack running up the back of the left side wall, and some dodgy looking joist work where the chimney breast has been previously removed.  Something for the Structural Engineer Chris to look at tomorrow.

I suspect our budgets overrun already!

Mark spent a happy couple of hours clearing out the muck from the cellar where we think the sewer drain has been leaking... nice.

Builders start tomorrow, all plans drafted, contingency already spent... happy days.
