Having renovated several old houses in dire need of modernisation over the years, I'm not fazed by removing walls – in fact, it has often been one of my favourite parts of these transformations.
That said, there have been some surprises along the way that have not been altogether welcome and, in some cases, that have thrown the project off schedule and added to costs. Perhaps if I had researched how to remove an internal wall a little more thoroughly prior to work commencing I would have been better prepared.
