Yoiks...A Hole in the Wall and No Floor!

OMGoodness...I'm so over this rain!

My head is spinning... as when it looks like it maybe fine, the guys get organised to do outside work...but the rain drives them inside...

So, this morning, out goes all the furniture and 3/4 of the floor came up, as we found we have to call in a professional plumber to take care of all the intricate plumbing details I need done. I had to keep the shower over in the corner on it's 1/4  bit of floor, as the water has to be cut off etc etc, so it's not quite as easy as we first thought.

Then we took out the sand in an hour, when I thought it would take a day or so. But with 2 wheel barrows and me in the middle, plus Zoltan and Florie, we got it done in one hour! No stopping every 10 mins for a smoke when I'm around!

The gate could not be completed as it was still too wet for the cemented in posts to set properly. Zoltan got stuck into cutting a hole in the wall as it was too wet to finish the septic pit...I decided it would be too messy to bring the concrete into the room thru the kitchen and over the front entrance, so the end room was the best way to do it.

So we had to go with cutting a door hole thru now...not in March.
My head spins as I like to plan, but this is unreal!

Chopping the deal to set the fire for cooking my tea...

A bit of shoveling goes a long way to replace waist exercise to-day.  It was pretty dusty in there...

Testing the camera settings...can't find flash!

First of 4 floor panels come out!

3 of 4 parts of floor up...now the floor beams go out...

This is real...the spots are dust! The new camera picks up everything!

Cracked up laughing on this one! This is what the floor was plugged into/onto...for probably over 50 years.

The last bit of floor to get pulled up, but we have to move the shower, turn off the water etc etc...Tomorrow for that one.

Zoltan underpinning the floor/walls in here to block up furry critters holes!

I like cooking on the fire, so have to chop the deal to light the fire to cook tea...Lovin' it!

Decided to cut the doorway into the end room as it was raining again...

A few minutes later, the bricks are exposed...

A few more minutes, we found a round hole...Have no idea what it was...

A few more minutes and he had broken through. This wall is only a bit over one foot thick...surprising.

You can now see into the end room...Now the next lot of fun begins...

So, you see...it's a hodge-podge of a bit of this...a bit of that.
So different to summer when only the heat held things up!

Anyways, I go to bed at night, wondering what on earth will eventuate every wet tomorrow...
There are so many jobs to be done, it really doesn't matter I guess.

Am off now, so let's see what tomorrow brings!
Sunshine...I hope.
