And So It Begins

The office is finished, well nearly and now we can start on my room.  
 
  Of course it going to be a long haul, The room has been completely emptied, the remaining old furniture stashed away for repurposing in the workshop out the back, wardrobes dismantled and a filing cabinet with years worth of paper work sorted, discarded or put away.  Once all the walls were free of clutter, the lazor light thing comes out to shoot levels and see just how warped and twisted the room really is, and just as we feared, the floor is just too bad to leave in and has to be completely removed and new beams put in. 
Today I will be down between those beams clearing out the old floor boards to be stacked for the fire. We are aimimg to have all the new beams in by the end of the weekend then will have to wait for a break in the weather to get the flooring sheets.  Its a long weekend here in Australia, so lets hope by the end of it we have a flat floor.

Wow! What a huge undertaking! Construction methods are so different from ours - I can't even begin to imagine doing anything similar. It must be incredibly satisfying though.
