Giles and Paula Add a Room Onto the Side of The House

[Chris]

@Giles:

And the wall is actually only 15" thick

Pffft, barely even worth mentioning…

@Giles:

Getting ready for the big break-through….

Thrilling.
Where is the cat at the moment?

Looking scared shitless at the top of the stairs…..

Oooh this where things get exciting  🧱

[Giles]

Tomorrow at 08:45 I meet a man with a diamond tipped chain saw

[Giles]

Venus and Mars….I love this shit, Paula comes out in Hives....Getting ready to break through.....

[ROman]

I think it's exciting, especially considering the end result…

[Giles]

I go to pick up the man with the diamond tipped chainsaw in a couple of hours…...

You're really looking forward to this aren't you 

It also sounds like the title of an ultra violent James Bond film, "The Man With The Diamond Tipped Chainsaw"…

[Giles]

Yes…..

OK.  He's building the access platform today.  Cutting tomorrow...

[Giles]

Cutting not going to plan for various reasons…...

Rich is having to attack from the inside to get the lintels in high enough, there is a wall plate (suspending the ceiling joists for the new room) in the way, if we cut below the plate, the doorway will not be tall enough.....

[Giles]

Current state of affairs in the kitchen…..

Was hoping to see more progress [emoji25]

However after spending a number of years working on building sites quite often in the vacinity of diamond drilling teams I know how painfully slow diamond drilling can be especially through deep walls.

[Giles]

The strong boys are in at least…..

OMG handheld core drilling, dry I might add, while standing on a ladder. Holy shit that’s not fun.

It's wet…..
