The acro props are keeping the ceiling up, until a steel beam is installed. Actually, there isn't a ceiling - it fell apart when the paper was stripped! The acro props are more accurately keeping the upper floor up! You can see where the new wiring threads through the joists.

Now the interior is gradually being put back together, new layers built up. The plastering is half done, and today we met the man who will lay our reclaimed floorboards.

Ooh. An absorbing and creative focus for your energies and attention, anyway.

J - yes, I can't quite believe my good fortune, all things considered...
I - great to see you here. And, well, yes.... do be careful re work-related posting - I never imagined in my wildest nightmares what could happen...
rr - you have to come sooooon....
Bare bones.
Beautiful bricks ( what are you going to do with them?)
h - not sure yet - L has taken a few to her allotment for step/ path construction. A woman along the road would like some. They are lovely, and probably worth a few bob!
I maybe biased, but to mosaic a few and use them in flower bed borders would look stunning;^)
