Well, you can lose a fair bit of garage and house roof (tiles and timber frames!), and strip off quite a bit more brick from the walls that will be changed. Of course you need a decent tarp to cover the roof then - these are old semi-trailer truck sides, which are surprisingly light, and obviously have to be waterproof.
Inside there are now holes in the lounge room floor,
where new brick piers are being added between the existing piers. This is to support the new suspended concrete slab we'll have in the lounge room, bringing it to the same floor level as the rest of the house, and adding thermal mass behind the north-facing windows.
Having made a mess outside, time for some cleaning up, picking up all the general brick and concrete rubbish...
and dump it on a truck for removal, or on (what used to be) the front yard for later removal...
Hmmm - where did all that dirt come from...? Hey - who took the courtyard?
It's now back to original ground level, with only some stubborn reinforced concrete steps yet to be extracted. Amazing how fast it all happens...
