A huge weekend for moving bricks - totally amazing team effort! Massive thanks to all who pitched in with brick shuffling, baking, & shifting bay windows:
Guy, Lilly, Hebe, Fi, Autumn, Theo, Dave, Esther, Al, Becks, Libby, Esme, Marty, Rach, Eva, Bruce, Jo, George, that guy from next door (Snail?) & James.
Looking back up at the house from the campervan each morning, it honesty looks like some kind of giant brickmonster caterpillar creature has been snacking on the house - little by little it's disappearing. Well, being rearranged really - the pile of bricks in the lower garden is getting pretty impressive too.
Biggest challenge of the weekend was the bay windows - the small one came out OK & was movable by 6 blokes. The big daddy bay windows are a different kettle of fish - the first got removed, & was promptly returned to it's perch on the brick wall, before being lowered onto a homemade frame for disassembly. Once the heavy timber was peeled off, & glazing removed, it was way lighter. Huge thanks to Craig at Canterbury Glass for coming round to remove the glass.
