Fun Over - Back to work

Ground floor chimney breast removal begins. They are non-structural in that the first floor does not directly line above the ground floor's. Removal is straight forward although care is needed to not disturb the passageway wall too much as it is only on half a brick thickness.
Chimney removal reveals the flues are formed and continue in the two respective arches at high level over the passage way. Some additional lintels are incorporated to take spliced floor joists where trimmed for the staircase opening.
