Another week passed. Had help this week as Mrs G took some leave from work. Bashed walls in the hall, second bedroom, main bedroom and dining room - and shifted a shit load of rubbish to the local tip.
The second bedroom -

Got rid of the radiator and cleared all the lath and plaster from the outside wall

Ripping plasterboard from the inside wall joining wall to main bedroom (originally an outside wall) revealed an alcove with shelves.

A new stud wall will go in where the ceiling height changes to create a second (spare bedroom) and a work room for Deanne
While remocing plasterboard around the external door and adjoining wall, a sheet of plasterboard fell from the roof - The roof and joists above looks good (unlike the joists in the main bedroom).

Some rotten floorboards found (close to one of the radiator pipes) probably resulting from a leaky radiator

A bit more work on this room completed today. The alcove has red brick behind the plaster and oak beam above so was probably a door into the original build - will take some pics tomorrow (after the dust settles).
