Demolition Days

The first stage of demolition at the rear of the property
It has been an exciting month for Him, Me and Our Three. Amidst the preparations for a return to school, after four submissions, we finally received building control approval for our plans.
We are not thrilled with some of the conditions we have had to agree to. The trickle vents in my beautiful hand-made wooden sash windows being the main compromise that is pushing me to the edge of sanity.
We are so excited though to finally begin work on This Old House. Before building comes demolition, of course, and there has certainly been plenty of that!
