Stripped

Finally got this all stripped down and found a stopping point. Done a few other things whilst been doing this but this is a nice place to rest until "the help" arrives.

Which is no bad thing either because I'd be phoning a friend as they say. Next job is to get the flooring up and sister up the main beam, which might involve lifting the floor joists so that they are back in the right position. One floor joist will need to be sistered as well.

Once the floor joists and main beam are happy, relay the floor and start on the window and the holes in the front of the house (covered by vinyl). Really very pleased that at this point, there are two pairs of hands, and hopefully a bit of experience.
