Week 19&23 - Re-building internal floor and walls

This is the last of the major structural timber work to be done (for this stage of the build anyway)...

The building is over 4 staggered floors, each cutting in half way through the height of the space below. As you can see in the picture this means lots of edges of floors supporting the wall above in turn up the building. Problem being the first one (holding up two floors above it) is not up to the job - we're talking flaps in the wind. So it all comes down...

Above is the original set up from the upper ground floor looking toward the river side of the building.
Below is the same veiw from upper ground with all unsounds structure removed
 And same view with rebuilt structure
 View of original structure from 1st floor
Same view with old structure removed, looking down onto ground floor (street level) and up onto second floor
 View from ground floor looking up past edge of 2nd floor to roof
 New structure from 1st floor level. The stairs will come up from ground floor in the bottom right of the 3 door sized gaps. Middle gap will be a large window looking down into the workshop below, and then left most gap is stairs up to 2nd floor
 Finished structure from the 2nd floor, this will be residential part of the building. There is now also a small mezzenene level above the staircase at this level to become a sleeping area in the spare room
 New hole out into the 2nd floor for a staircase down to the front door of the residential area.
