8. Some demolition


Some of the old garage is taken down and fencing temporarily installed to give the neighbours some privacy.

Demolition of the existing extension begins by removing the roof tiles (which can be reused). Lots of the lath was rotten so it would have needed replacing anyway. That's my dad up the ladder trying to look busy.

Next the roof members are removed. Hopefully we can reuse these elsewhere on the project.

Then the sledgehammer comes out and the old kitchen extension begins to disappear.

Only half way through and skip number 6 is filled.


Hey presto and the old kitchen extension is no more. Anyone available to help me into the skip with the 7"x7" reinforced concrete lintel?

    Isn't skip-filling exhausting - and expensive? Great to see all the stuff you can't use leaving the site, though.

    Also, great to plan to re-use as much as you can! Looking good...
