The near end of the deconstruction

After our lovely weekend away, it's back to the daily business of work and house again. The builders have knocked out most loadbearing walls by now and they are being supported by temporary beams until the steel beams arrive.

They have removed the old stairs and closed the ceiling and by doing so created the baby room, which also in size is a baby room! The big gaping hole (once the door to the cupboard under the stairs) will become a wall. You can see that they have placed the old stairs where the new stairs will come, using them as a ladder for the time being.

So things are looking good! Hopefully we can start the construction next week.
