Lots of progress upstairs this week. All the walls at the top of the stairs have been torn out and we can already tell we'll love the more open feel. But finding the right path through the beams will be more complex (mind your head, still.)
Mr Thierry thinks insulation in that part of the house is not bad, except for right at the top of the stairs, where we already knew you could see daylight through the cracks. We'll be insulating that area and it should be nice and toasty, and make for an improved heating bill.
A reminder of what it was like before
The closet in the blue bedroom has been framed and the green bedroom has been reconfigured -- old corridor wall taken down and new door put in. It makes for a humongous room.
Welcome back from vacation, Clément!
Sadly, the weather has been bad, with torrential downpours, so Patrick was only able to put in a day's work outside. He found that the tile was practically right on the plaster. In between the two, he found a sheet of paper that once was attached to insulation. Where the insulation itself went is a mystery.
Eventually another positive impact on our heating bills!
Hoo Boy! Lots of destruction going on in these pics, especially to some lovely wallpaper. Can't wait to see the finished product.
