First Day of Smashing

The first item on the agenda was placing a plastic wall to protect our living space. 

Another view of the separation, tomorrow it will get a door to make moving around easier.
Frodo is very keen to get past the plastic.

On the other side of the plastic the drywall removal has just started.

The waste material is all going out the window.  The half timbers had to come off to get the window out  and will be replaced with new wood work and bricks. 

Christian is on waste clean up duty and his truck sits waiting to be filled with drywall waste tomorrow.

The bricky will have some more masonry work this spring as the bricks came off in one big chunk plus a couple singles. There were almost no brick ties behind this group of bricks.  We are hoping for a better outcome on the bigger parts of the brick walls.
