Extending/remodelling 60s Dormer Bungalow - part 2 - demolition

They remove the doors (which I give away on freecycle) and start to pull the roof off the garage.

Then they start to remove the boards (which they are able to later re-use) and the rafters (which will later be the edges to my raised veg beds).

They box in the boiler, then the electricity junction and fusebox into temporary housing, whilst we arrange for them to be moved.

They start to reclaim the good bricks, and demolish the walls.

Almost all of the garage is gone within 3 days work.

Then the digger starts to remove the foundations and drive.

Then a grab removed the rubble.

They dig trenches for the new foundations (to depths specified by building control) and fill them with concrete.

Then the walls start to go up again, after careful planning how to make them level, when the original house no longer appears to be!

Then the first fill is added, a radon sump (to scare off naughty gases) and two layers of insulation.

Then the concrete for the floor slab is poured and levelled. Unfotunately the boys forgot their welly boots!
