You have probably noticed that I have been writing short blog postings about various minor topics lately. Short postings are all I can cope with after a day of carting bricks and shovelling rubble! However, I can confirm that the demolition work has been progressing nicely. We have now finished the demolition of the loft and removed several square metres of the first level floor. We are aiming for completion within a week. The bricks are piled behind the fienile. At EUR 1 each, they need to be looked after! The rubble is piled behind the house. Smaller pieces are going straight on the driveway to ensure a good road base over winter and larger pieces will be used to shore up our steeper banks in the future.
