Well the old girl saw the chiropractor today and had her joints (or should that be joists) aligned. He did a fantastic job and we are very happy with it. The floor structure was in really good condition but the same cant be said for the red gum stumps, allot of which weren't even touching the ground. We have replaced them all with concrete.
The calculations for the concrete footings went a little wrong and instead of 4 inch footings we have 12 inch footings. She is as steady as a rock. The chimney in the kitchen had to be removed though as one of the bearers went straight through the middle of it and when lifted cracked the base. We were told to have it down by the time they returned on Monday. Oh did I mention that he told us this on Friday night !! Well it came down and he was very happy with how quick we were. Now all we are left with is a massive hole in the floor and ceiling. Now we only have one more chimney to go!
