We had put off dealing with the end building but now was the time to embrace the challenge before it decided to demolish itself.
We abandoned the idea of an additional living room and opted to convert it into a garage with some additional accommodation
And a bit of persuasion with a chisel
Some of the wall refused to budge
So out with the wall to make space for a garage door - easier said than done. Always handy having a teenager around who can swing a sledge hammer!
Mother removes the rubble
The roof needed attention again - not having been touched since 2004
The first bit of wall removed
Maddie tries to make out she has been working.
Is the correct way to remove a wall to demolish it from underneath you?
Bex applies factor 30 to Ben
Matt shows he can swing too :0)
In with some joists for the 1st floor
Matt celebrates the downing of the wall by dressing up
The walls are cleaned up by recreating concrete pillars
Time for reflection.......
Nic uses the excuse of having a baby to avoid work and dress up like Matt :0)
I don't know about this but it looks like Matt may have stood still a little too long
Nige prepares wood for the roof
The team at work
Mandy, the main stone mason
Bex takes some time out - again
We are quite pleased with the result
