So things are progressing after the floors have been poured we move onto the supporting walls which have a lot of reinforcement in them to support the stairs and the upper floor.
The walls are shuttered and filled with concrete:
blocking the route!
I have to say it was clear that a massive amount of weight was being poured and I’ll never forget the sound of the shuttering cracking and creaking under it. I was sure it would blow!
Once that had dried we were ready to install the upper floor, the garden again looking like a building supplies store
Quickly the floor started to appear from above:
making the room look almost habitable! It was at this stage when I saw the floor above I could really visualise the space. It’s now starting to really take shape. I almost cried with happiness when I saw this floor laid. Up to now it has felt like we were destroying everything which was of course the plan and at first felt good to be starting but after a while I just wanted to start rebuilding. This new floor really signalled the beginning of rebuilding. Having taken out the earth floor we now have a nice new one.
