Steel work up

The load bearing wall has been removed, the steel work is almost completed and work has started digging up the floor.

As expected some issues have cropped up;

The main consumer unit and incoming electric meter we on the load bearing wall
Six heating, gas, and water pipes located exactly where the new steel needs to be
Dust, dust and more dust.  Getting into the house through holes in floor boards etc.

Old plaster stripped back and picture shows the exposed sandstone walls.

If you look at the above picture you can see the old floor was laid directly on top of the soil.......Cold!

Pipes had to be cut to go round steel beam
