During the night I decided that the reducing floor area was going to be a problem, where was I going to store every thing? So an old floorboard and beam storage system was required. Sadly Ikea don't stock things like that so a make it yourself option will have to do! Planning started in my head the next day and I began removing parts of the lounge floor beams that were solid at least in parts, even if a little woodwormy. These were to become the legs of my creation. This helped as it continued the efforts to remove the floor so building a store was not just wasting time. After painting with wood worm treatment they were put outside ready for the next stage of the plan to use the boards I was taking up to make the actual storage unit. The next part of the kitchen floor came up leaving the sink unit area in place as it is handy for coffee and washing up! With the removal of four more lounge floor boards I had enough floor removed for Peter the Engineer to see what was what and advise on the foundation work for the new block and beam floor. I also had enough boards to make the sides and cross braces for the wood store. I started to remove rubble that had come off the walls and fallen down the side of the of the old floor just as Peter turned up.
