The Big Builder starts work

Lisbeth's builder is here today. He is revamping the kitchen in the flat. However, before he can start the actual kitchen, he has been working on the floor because it squeaks and makes a lot of noise when people walk on it. This drives Lisbeth nuts when she's in the room below.

This photo shows the kitchen space after he has taken out the old bit of a kitchen, lifted the floor, put two layers of insulation in the cavity underneath and started to put back the boards.

According to Lisbeth, the floor-work done by the previous owner leaves something to be desired but (after discussion with the big builder) is not bad enough to redo from scratch. Unfortunately it is all going to cost more, but you have to do what you have to do.
