Yesterday the skips were delivered at 08:30 and we made plenty of progress taking down the villa. All the roof structure is off down to the level of the ceiling, apart from the concrete gabled end.
All the nails are out apart from two nails (each 6 inches) in each of the rafters, which we need to get out this morning. Once the rafters are de-nailed and stored, we will get to work on gable end.
Obviously nails were cheap when they put the villa up 50 years ago. We have pulled out hundreds in order to keep the waste wood purely as wood. This keeps the cost down for the skip, but adds quite some effort.
One or two passers-by were a bit misty eyed looking at the villa being taken down. They remember the happy days of Tilli and her garden ... but things change and move on.
