We hope you are all keeping well and making the best use of whatever time is at your disposal.
Last time, we left you with the tantalising shot showing a small hole in one of the walls taken from within the old larder…
… whilst this one is taken standing in the anteroom to what was the ladies, and the hole is now a little larger.
Just a little tap with the sledgehammer…
…and the jobs nearly finished! One more decent swing at it and…
… we got to this stage, where I couldn’t knock anything else over because the rubble was holding the wall up. Several trips with the wheelbarrows soon sorted that problem out and…
…the next thing I knew, the wall was gone.
A little bit of judicious tidying up and then it was time for something else.
Whilst I was destroying one room, Mike was forming another. The walls in the gents-to-be are all now in place, and after this picture was taken, Mike flowed a self-levelling screed over the floor which should dry well over the weekend and be ready for our next work session.
So after a lot of tidying up, and cutting logs (because the forecast indicated a cold weekend), we have had a weekend off. Yes, I know – how weird are we?! We will need to practise this time-off business more as we have both been rubbish at it!
Tomorrow we will be having a chat to prioritise work, given that it will be very difficult to buy consummables now. Luckily, we still have quite a lot of destruction to do…
