The chimney has completely gone now and although it was a lot of money we hadn't really budgeted for, we're very happy with the amount of room that it's given us. Upstairs it means we'll easily fit a double bed and downstairs we'll be able to have our extension lounge door where we want it in the future.
We've started plasterboarding yet another ceiling (Our bedroom this time) but it means that once this is done we'll have half of the house ready for plastering!
We've started on the bathroom in anger now:
The first fix waste and plumbing was put in by a professional.
Trying to remove the old wooden windowsills nearly brought the wall under the window down (literally!). A bucket load of mortar later and the windowsill and wall was patched up and looking good.
Once that was patched up it was time to fit the suite.
It was fun trying to fit the massive shower base, but a little chiselling into the wall and some brute force soon helped it into it's space.
And finally onto the tiling.
In the next post we'll hopefully have a fully tiled and fitted bathroom! Fingers crossed that will be sooner rather that later, but as I've got a beer festival to attend this weekend I'm not holding my breath...
