First wall to go is between Bedroom 4 and the Hallway.

Plasterboard between Dining Room and Kitchen retained as a partial dust barrier.  Steel is now in place

View from the hall. We can now start to better imagine the new room overall size and shape.

Electrician on site early to secure all wiring on walls to be taken down.  Work started removing the kitchen/dining room wall.

Delayed full start to wall removal, but plumber was on-site for an early start. Letters dropped to neighbours. Radiators have been removed/capped.  Relocation of under-floor copper pipework ready for installation of vertical wall mounted rads.  Refilling of system and bleeding of rads created a few problems although system up and running at close of play.  This caused the cementing of new exposed pipework to be put off until Day 2.

Preparations complete for start 8am tomorrow

Seafood festival and a great sunny weekend with the girls
