Rip it Up

Having started on the flooring in the first floor bedrooms, I'm gradually working out what's to be done and how to do it. I've now removed half of the floorboards in bedroom 2.

I've reinforced the two weakest beams and then I've put small tie-bars between the beams in an attempt to tie all of them together, hopefully to reduce the amount of 'bounce' in the floor. At the moment I'm intending to do half of each bedroom at a time, although I will have to find out from our electrician tomorrow when he will be able to run all of the electrics under the flooring.

It's going to be quite a job!
