3rd January 2018
An early veggie breakfast set me up for the long day ahead.
Another visit to the tip got rid of more rubble, the old sink and draining board.
I got through to the structural Engineer at last and arranged a meeting for next Monday. I thought it would be adventitious to open up the living room ceiling to check how the joists were located.
By the time I have pulled all the ceilings down I will never want to do it again, the dust gets everywhere, and there is a smell that lingers.
It hits me every time I unlock the door.
My cough is not improving, by the evening I can be reduced to a hacking old git. Although I do not get any pain in the chest, I don’t know where all this stuff it’s coming from.
I realise that this is not going to be a quick job. The building work will take about four to five weeks, once it can get started, so this is keeping my spirit a bit low.
