The false ceilings come down

Excluding jobs that relate to raw sewage, I now believe there are no jobs more filthy than removing a ceiling. We pulled the false ones down from the hall and study and then had to remove all of the original plaster from the original ceilings. So I suppose that the dust that was disturbed is from the last 100-odd years or whatever.

Unfortunately the photos don't really do it justice because the difference, particularly in the hallway, is quite dramatic.

First of all the hallway before...
