Here is an update for early September. When I removed the render from the wall in the living room last year I found that the the granite lintel above the front door did not cover the full width of the wall. There was a 12" x 3" timber lintel behind that supported the floor joists and stairs that was total rotten.
I will replace this with a 12" square green oak lintel that completely full the space above the door to the level of the floor boards in the bedroom above. But first I need to expose the stonework and lintel and rake or all the mortar joints.
Thats all I can do this week. I have a three week leave coming up to do the job.
