It's quite fun but I'm still finding the amount of internal bungalow demolition quite alarming. Builders are due in tomorrow to put in the big glulam beams that'll support the roof once we cut out the ceiling in the living area. Once that's done there's a bit more demolition to do - a cluster of walls that currently hold up all the ceilings - then things will hopefully start to take a more constructive turn. The new sloping ceiling will go in, the roof will go back on and, if time allows, possibly solar panels will go up on the roof. Then the scaffolding will come down and all being well groundworks can begin. Later on (or possibly while someone who actually knows what they're doing with a digger does the groundworks) new internal walls can be put in where needed. There's much much more that will need doing but that'll do for now.
