Three Strippers

Well it's the 2nd weekend of work on the house. Jac's dad Norm' came along with his steamer and him and Jac both got a start on the upstairs of the house. I spent most of Saturday working on the front bedroom, knocking back more of the loose plaster around the crack and ridding the ceiling of its polystyrene tiles - which incidentally were glued and pinned in place, meaning after the tiles came down I had about 300 pins to remove by hand :o(

This weekend we also had 'Phil The Builder' come round and look at the crack in the wall in the front bedroom/bathroom. He has given it a "yeah, it's no problem" so good news there. He's going to do a bit of work replacing some bricks and interlocking them again to re-strengthen it before it can be plastered over the top and forgotten about.

All in all a good weekend. Pretty much the whole upstairs stripped and the big worry over the wall relieved a little.
