No pictures this time, just clearing up

A number of trips to the recycling centre with rubble today, clearing up the bedroom 2 chimney remains.

The stack is definitely going to have to be supported, but it is not clear how. I will need to get someone who knows to have a look. Too risky to remove any further bricks for the time being.

We had a look at paint today - the Dulux heritage collection and F&B. We are looking for the green colour that is used in conservation properties. It isn't quite as dark as ochre - it is a light blueish green colour, kind of a green oxide. Our plan it to track down the colour and use it on our window frames. Our problem is that the doors are plastic imitation wood so it may look odd with green windows and brown doors. We could replace the doors but funds probably wouldn't stretch that far.

More rubble clearance to do and then it is on to plaster removal. I also need to sort out the damp in the back house. There is definitely something up there as the back yard always stays very wet. It could be a leaking main or drain, or just water naturally rising. I will dig some test pits and see what happens. We may have to replace the floor in the back house.
