My Day 3 Site Visit
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008 at 5:07 pm by TammyI managed to make it to The Farm briefly today to have a look at what’s been going on and also because I needed to help Nige make some decisions. When I arrived the ‘work force’ were sitting in front of an open fire in the snug eating fish and chips LOL, but I soon cracked the whip and got them back to work! The house is looking extremely scary now! It’s amazing how quickly you forget what it looked like before though - it’s as though the walls have never been there. The biggest change, which was not on the original plans, is that we are now going to have a full galleried landing upstairs which I’m actually really pleased about! We had intended to leave some of the wall in place but actually it was bowing so badly we felt it was safer to just knock it down, so now it’s gone! I ventured up the ladder to the upstairs and the ensuite wall has also been ‘chopped’ to form the new landing so there’s now just a huge space where walls used to be! I believe that the wall in the entrance hall may have been coming down this afternoon as the steel was being delivered, and that’s the last major bit of wall to come down! Dale and Mark have warned us that taking down is very fast and that progress will slow considerably after this initial phase, but even so, I’m very impressed with the progress after only 3 days. There is an awful lot of clearing up to do though …
