The story of my extension being built
Sunday 29th March 2015 / 17:30
About ten years ago I knocked out this wall to make a large opening. Now it’s time to brick it back up, put a door in and make the room back into a bedroom. The first step is to remove the floor and reveal the remains of the wall. I have bought 28 Thermalite blocks and a door lining kit for this job.

Chain drilling to cut out enough existing block to create dog tooth.

Dog toothing is done and door frame is placed where it will go.

The remains of the riser wall below the floor are built back up with a few courses bricks.

Blockwork. What can I say? You really need to get the ‘muck’ just right, otherwise you’ll give yourself a hard time!

Off to Mum and Dad’s for an Easter Sunday lunch soon, and then round to see Benjamin as it’s his birthday.

This weekend, amongst other things, such as getting my hair cut, I’ve hung this door and fitted the door furniture. The door came from Wickes and it’s a Denham Oak Veneer interior door. It’s nice outside, so I’ve been filling holes with gravel by the side of the house.
