Today Tony (builder) comes with Chris and Luke, so we can discuss the finer points of how the beam and new ceilings will work, and where the skylight might go. Chris and Luke then get on with erecting temporary framing to prop up the roof, then start to remove the internal wall. Tony comes back later for a look and informs us that there was so little holding up the brickwork above the place where half the wall had been removed back in the 70s that it was a bit surprising it hadn't fallen down. We are looking forward to it being replaced by a nice solid steel beam.
Tomorrow they are going to start removing the actual wall.
Here are today's pictures of the temporary framing and the removal of the bricks and old beams over the space between the two parts of the room.
On the right - framing.

Below left, the old wall, next thing to go.
