Below is
a mixture of pictures showing some of the internal works which have I been
progressing.
Here, the
noggin's are being fitted, to strengthen the ceiling joists, and prepare for
plasterboard to be fitted.
This
picture shows the old 70's fireplace before. I'm sure it was very nice in it's
day, but
I have decided it has to go......surprisingly!
Here I
have removed the fireplace, and am removing the rubble and old lintels. You can
see the coal back boiler, which has also had it's day, although it still works
very well.
Here is the fireplace, as
it will be. It's quite a nice feature, and I think a wood burning stove will
look excellent, once I have build a new hearth, and installed the flue liner. At
the side is the redundant back boiler.
Here the new hearth is
under construction. I have laid out the blocks, which give we the height and
depth into the room (to satisfy Building Control). Here the blocks have been
cemented in place.
I have filled the centre
with concrete, and here is the finished hearth. The concrete and clocks will be
finished (probably using slate), and the new floating floor will be flush with
the top of the hearth (no step as there is now).
