Boarded Hall & Landing - 21st/22nd Feb 09

The hall and landing is boarded and is looking so much better! We spoke to the plasterers and they said we should knock down the wall as its serving no purpose. They said we could either leave it open or they could stud and board it.

Once we had knocked it down, we decided to leave it that way as it made the hall so much bigger! Only problem now is that there is no damp proof membrane! It looks like it used to be a coal house under the stairs as there is a door that has been blocked up. We dug up the concrete and found rubble and then soil. We are going to dig it down to the foundations and put in new joist supports so we can lay floorboards straight across. Where the original floorboards met the soil they have become rotten so need replacing anyway! Another little job we were not expecting!





Still carrying on with the electrics, adding an extra socket under the stairs now so that was a bit of extra work for my Dad!

Should have the electrics finished this week and the plasterers will have skimmed the hall by Thursday! One room left to go then we can start making it look pretty!
