The story of my extension being built

The ‘conservatory’ in all it’s glory. Only the door has been removed.
Over on the far right the ground has already been cleared of plants and the temporary drainage pipe that I installed about eight years ago can be seen sticking up at an angle. I created the dog leg in it by heating it up with a blow lamp and bending it.

After only three QUARTERS of an hour, most of the glass has been removed. Curiously, despite being of the highest quality of construction and having been tirelessly maintained, the timber has fallen to pieces without the glass to support it. The wall has been hit with the sledge hammer and then pushed over.
The fine looking sack truck is Dad’s. You can just see modification 1a, attachment of wood to prevent it being scratched.

Further destruction of timber. More wall pushed over, smashed with the sledgehammer and barrowed away by my assistant.

Just over a year after the old conservatory was dismantled, the last remnants of it are finally sawn up for fire wood. Bits of the old roof have been used for the overflow wood shed which contains the wood removed from the end of the garage. The roof of the conservatory protected some firewood from the rain over the winter.
