Deconstruction begins in earnest

A beautiful sunny day in Jed, gentle birdsong mingling with the slightly out of tune chimes of the town hall clock. Everything is bright, happy, lovely...

OK, in case you suspect I've been taking illicit substances - the joiners have turned up at last and the strip out of bedrooms 2 and 5 has begun. Mick the plumber is also here and the bathroom is being reduced to a confetti of fibreglass and metal. The supervisor fellow will be here today and we'll need to find out if enlarging the bathroom in No 2 is feasible given the timescale. If not we'll have to leave it as is.

Pictures later.
