So after the initial excitement of looking around and visualising what things might be like when we're done we started poking at things...
A mouldy carpet has been lifted and will be skipped tomorrow. There are a few (read as lots) of damp patches on the walls and also in the suspended wooden floor. We'll have to get that seen to sooner rather than later. Some of the carpet is salvageable so we'll keep that for walkways when we default get rid of the other carpets.
We started tearing randomly at the wall paper, starting mainly with the patches that had already started peeling. The plaster underneath generally looks OK, but will definitely need a skim if we're planning on painting them.
Meter reading was taken so we'll have to get onto an electricity supplier soon...
That was about it for the first day as we were both getting a little tired and were unsure of what to do next. We'll see where we get to tomorrow.
