For some reason I can't presently recall, it appears from the dates on the photos, we next visited Fossils Retreat on Thursday 19 November. Jacob, our builder, has already made a start, as you can see.
Foundations for the new extension - a bit more dining room area and a laundry. 
The wall between the old bathroom and kitchen has gone. This roof will also go, and new framing for a new roof
It appeared the original fireplace went diagonally into both rooms. Jacob is getting ready to cut new floorboards and square off each room

Was the old (diagonal) fireplce already gone when you got the house?
ReplyDeleteYes, just the diagonal holes where they had been. The bedroom 'hole in the floor' made a darn good temporary toilet stop for a while in the early days
