Sand blinded ready for DPM and then concrete. These photos show the area of the kitchen. The excavated corner was still giving us problems with the amount of water that had accumulated. It was constantly dripping from below the original foundations of the house.

Grab lorry arrived to remove more muck Photo 1 Photo 2 The damp proofing was also applied in the hallway. Although it was suggested to take the damp proofing up to 1m, it would have required removing all the skirting and dado-rails. We decided against it as the existing damp course was doing its job so we just applied it below the finished floor level as that wont be accessible.

The demolition of the conservatory continues... Managed to salvage around 200 of these bricks which I'm thinking could be used for flower beds or an outdoor BBQ in the future. Previous Next
