As an extra to the new upstairs build, and as recommended by our builder, we decided to have the rest of the roofing felt and battens renewed. The felt on the old part of the house was in a bad state, so tiles needed stripping off first. In accordance with our bat licence we had two bat ecologists to supervise this part.

Day 3 only for phase 2, the building of the master bedroom, ensuite and small study.

Progress has been very quick in 3 days. The balcony and huge vaulted ceiling has been removed, new beams for bedroom floor are in place and gap left for a staircase. Partitioning has started today.

Lots of preparation for the start of the new extension. We applied for planning permission and are now creating an upstairs area to the house. This will become a master bedroom and ensuite bathroom and a small study. Downstairs in the large hallway which we have used as a sitting room, we would like a sun and TV room.
