Running Repairs in the Garden — After weeks of high winds the back garden fence was in need of some TLC. A few screws did the job. It is not easy standing on a ladder holding a drill and taking a picture at the same time.

Stairs to the top floor. I hate that banister. We cleared and stripped the hall and my work room, ready to take down the wall and ceilings.

Cleared and ready — Looking westward down the middle floor hall, my workroom to the right. The wall on the right has to come down.

Workroom: Cleared and ready — My workroom emptied of everything except the home network server cupboard, which will have to stay in place.

Damage — This is the damage to the wall outside Eldest’s bedroom caused by door slamming!

Hall cleared and Ready — Middle floor landing looking east; cleared and ready to drop the ceilings.
