Day 268: The fun begins...

The builders don't turn up in the morning (this was arranged) but are well on their way when I come back at lunchtime: the carpets are up, the handrail is gone and the wall to the spare room is coming down block by block. Pete piles three breeze blocks on his shoulders and takes them out; Paul & Tim take out buckets of smaller stuff as they go.

By this evening, the spare room's wall, and its built-in cupboard, have vanished. There has been a bit of work in the bathroom, removing the fixtures. Tomorrow, the staircase is coming out first thing.
