Part of the cellar, in fact the most popular use of the cellar is the 5 shelves used for all our shoes. it's just inside the door, so we open the door dump our shoes and leave. with all the mess, dust and clearing it was a good idea to move all the shoes out he way to stop the kids, cats and dog going into the demolition site.

Once I had clear the the shelves I soon spotted the rendering / plaster behind the shelves was coming away and there are a few holes, showing the brickwork behind. Great! Another wall to take back to the brick work and repaint.

The cleared shelves did make carrying rubble sacks and all the junk down in the cellar a much easier job. Also avoided the risk of trashing all the shoes too.

Taking the shelves and wooden support batons down wasn't too much of an issue, other that the layers and layers of paint over the screw heads and the occasional bracket that need to be hacksawed off when i rounded off the screw heads.

Once the shelves were down it was a quick and fun job to get the paint scrapper behind the plaster and prize it off in great chucks. this patch was removed in roughly 3 minutes.
