Just uncovered the floor in the old kitchen/wet rooom. As if the grey carpet wasn’t bad enough, we discovered this lovely lino underneath. Would you believe someone actually chose this!!

Conservatory Stripped Bare
Time for a bit more demolition. Everything inside the ‘conservatory’ and kitchen area has been removed.
Towards the back of this area the outside ground level is about 2 feet above the internal floor level and nothing was done in construction to prevent damp. Therefore we had some truly minging mould etc when removing cabinets and lifting the carpet.
With everything removed a reasonable floor slab was revealed – it’ll have to go though as the floor level is not right.
A view back into what was once the ‘wet room’.

Pipes and Wires
A welcome break from the digging and back indoors again – good chance to escape the Cornish summer (!!).
Having removed the wet room the old kitchen and conservatory could be next. One thing stood in our way though – all the old services, electrics plumbing & things like that. I think the term ‘Heath Robinson’ was invented for this house. It’s probably quite dangerous the way some of it has been wired, thank goodness we don’t have gas!
So, power off, water off and out with the cutting gear to remove all the services from this back area.
A coupla pics so you can see the kind of spaghetti we are dealing with!
