Interested too and planning on the same. While cutting up the cold water tank to remove from above the bathroom I noticed that I appear to have some bricks not doing their job. Then again, it's not fallen down yet... Probably want someone to have a look at that

Gallows bracket holding up the old chimney stack? Hard to say how funky it looks
-

I think so, yeah. The rest of the chimney from the kitchen up are gone, so presume this is all that's left.
Family there before had been there ~25 years or so. No clue if this was during their time or before. I'm assuming it's safely left as is for now until the ceiling below it comes out -

Yes Tongue and Groove. There are 43sqm left and they want it sold in one go so willing to let it go for £1,000 which works out at £23.25 psqm.
Good deal on 22mm solid beech Junkers floor boards. Salvage yards charge more than twice that.
Here are some pictures. One shows it sanded back to its natural beauty. If you look on the Junkers website they have lots of stains in nice colours.

Wow, that is bloody beautiful.

Yeah. That pine is definitely coming down ASAP.

How do you re-finish that without losing all the jaunty colour marking ?

Just found my Habitat clock like that. Would have loved the Daft Punk table from same collection if I wasn’t a poor student at the time.

Are you leaving the door frame like that with the new ceiling?
-
• #37694
Nope. All new door liners and doors. Every door in this place opens in the wrong way, apparently this was the Victorian way.
-
• #37695
It’s the right way. The victorians knew what they were doing. But admittedly in smaller rooms it can seem counter intuitive.

The next Victorian owners will be cursing the Señor Bearians. :)

Second visit to the terraced house in the middle of nowhere today, took an architect friend with us, and (I'm sure you'll all be glad to know) it's a no from me, dog.

RE: The bathroom ceiling removal.
I'm not sure how feasible it is unless you're changing the roof at the same time. My pitched roof structure was made with 3" x 2" timbers in a 3 sided-triangle formation. We changed these for 170mm x 50mm timbers so it will be stronger as they're now just one side of a triangle.
Once you take off the ceiling you can work it out but it's not really something easy to do if you're trying to keep the roof in place.

Why put up new ceiling? Old house, embrace the wonk?

Had a chat with Lusso Stone about their shower enclosures this morning.
Me: So you sell the tray for £235
LS: Yep
Me: and the trap etc isn't very expensive
LS: Yep
Me: So you're effectively selling a 1200mm shower screen for £700?
LS: That's correct.According to my wife I came across as a bit rude.
Weirdly phrased article - I would assume £118 would have been tricky even pre COVID?
