I have started work on the conversion now having taken delivery of the bulkier items from the builders merchant this weekend.
The first job was to add two additional roof supports before I build my internal timber framework. These were a little difficult to get into position as the existing timbers were bowing down. I came up with the cunning plan of using my drywall hoist to lift the roof up to aid the locating of the new timbers. This proved very successful and the roof supports were quite easily positioned using a mallet.
Next job was to do the preparation for re-pointing some of the brickwork inside. There has been a degree of movement in the past which has left some gaps in the brickwork and there are some sections of mortar in need of replacing. Still a bit more preparation to do next weekend before pointing/filling.
