Demolition Begins

Last week, the demolition company moved in to demolish the existing house. They removed most of the floor boards by cutting our internal walls, probably with a chain saw! The boards will be recycled. The terra-cotta roof tiles will were also removed for re-sale.

Next a large machine was floated (brought to the site on a semi-trailer), and the real demolition started. After the first day,it was about half-done. By tomorrow, they should be finished, making for about 4 working days to demolish the place.

Before demolition we did remove some of the fittings that were useful to us (e.g. fluorescent lamps, which I can use in the sub-floor or roof space of the new house).

The next thing to do is organise the set-out for excavation pegs.
