Having removed various bits of insulation we can now clearly see the crack between the original internal wall (left) and the front wall (right). Bit of a worry!

Looking down through the 3rd section (of 7). Next thing is to replace any joists that need it and then lay the new upstairs subfloor.

This is the rubble from knocking down part of the breeze block (very not original) wall to open this up to it’s original 6x6m size

 It will eventually be kitchen/dinner with a small seating area as well. We have decided that the 2 beams need a little support from below to take out bounce from the floor upstairs and stop the beams sagging further (there is an 11cm difference between the ends and the middle) so there will be a couple of pillars in the downstairs room. Details of the design still being looked at..,
