OT - more progress (or at least more destruction to make way for progress!!)

We've had a bit more wall knocking down done this week and today Adam and I have been emptying our house of furniture into storage ready for the electrician who is coming in on Monday to start the re-wire and an empty house will make it easier for him to get it done quicker. We have also taken up the laminate flooring in our lounge/diner so he can take the floorboards up for the wiring. We have already ordered carpet to replace the laminate but now we've seen the floorboards they seem quite nice!

Here's some more pics...

Here's the latest 'hole' - we've had the old shower bit taken out, leaving a hole. We now just need the bit between this hole and the doorway taken out and then it will be one big room finally. Then it's a case of the builders putting pillars and RSJs in.




Here's Inko watching me attempt to cook in the shell that is our old kitchen - she loves watching, and now she has more space to do it in! See her 'devil eyes'!!



Inko watching from her den while we're clearing - feeling very annoyed at being left out!!




Sofas gone into storage and replaced with garden chairs so we could eat our lunch, before beginning the rest of the clearing...




There's quite a lot of stuff to clear out!






Nearly there with the clearing



Once most of the stuff was out, it was a case of ripping up the laminate flooring.






To reveal some nice old floor boards...
