WE definitely have the makings of a room. This is the inside now - to the right you see the floor boards; most of the old sarking has been removed and this morning Mike put in a support for the lower beam that goes through the house and held up this sarking, then it can be removed. Putting up the very hefty cross beam to hold all this was quite an effort ( and involved taking out half the spare bedroom wall) . One more strong upright to hold the central beam, and then that too can be removed and we can wander around one side of our new room.

We still have the horrid mess of another bit of block wall to be removed, then hopefully all the really unpleasant bitties will be over.

No sign of Mr very busy scaffolder from Ardrishaig yet.
