Most old houses move around over time - old stumps were often only put in the ground a few inches, or they were just sitting on the surface.
This house just has so many levels. The best thing to do is get the re-blockers in straight away and get the correct levels sorted, as any work you do will be pointless without a good level foundation.
So to start we remove all the floor boards so we can get easy acess to the floor. Please have a look at the photos of the "Floor Board Removal Tool", if you can make one of these it makes it a lot easier that lots of hits with a hammer.
Firstly lets get rid of that concrete path!!
 |
| Not only does the tool remove floor boards but also concrete :) |
 |
| Let there be light, just about every bearer was rotten, (or not there) due to the fact they were sitting in the dirt |
 |
| More light and Air, plus the floor space now has room to run central heating pipes when the flooring goes back |
 |
| The Lounge with, new bearers and the old chimney has had the 1980 cover removed |
