Banging Done, Dust Settled

The rest of the house remains standing and I am delighted with the result.  I could seat a whole book club comfortably now - just need to get one going.

In fact its such a success that the wall between the kitchen and what we call the music room (no piano but there is a record player) is next on the list for demolition.

Plasterer should be in in a week or so to redo the ceiling in the artexed bit and make good the walls then we can think about decorating for 6 or 7 years.
