Knocking down the wall around the stairs

So that we can move the stairs, we need to have two new A frames added to the roof. At the moment supports come up the side of the stairs and are built in to the wall. The first thing is to knock out all the wall and get rid of the ceiling on the stair well. Then finally the roofer will take out the supports and replace with 2 A frames - he will build them outside then bring up bit at a time and put together and raise in to place - apparently.
Rob and Sarah very kindly helped with this - Rob made the mess and Sarah helped us tidy it up. As always with this kind of job the tidy up is much bigger than the knocking down.
Just started

Getting rid of the wood - rubble is going to the tip

Job done - you can see the roof supports - they will be replaced soon
