Well, somewhat chunkier than I expected. Are they normally that thick
(about 20mm)?

They do come up *very* easily with an SDS and a cranked wide chisel.
Easier than the bl**dy worktop came out - that was well and truely wedged
between the wall and the airing cupboard.

Generally 'twas a good day at the Bungalow - got 8 hours straight in
today, brought all the right tools down, no faffing. Got the rest of the
kitchen ripped out and saved the better cupboards for re-use somewhere
else:

Bit in the middle is my new workbench

Love the original decor(!):

And curses to that gas pipe - right where a new wall is going. Didn't
expect it to meander round the left hand wall. Looks like I'll be getting
into gas a bit sooner than expected.

I have a gas question brewing, but I'm off the read the gas FAQ again,
then I'll ask it...

Don't throw the quarry tiles away, they are worth 50p each at the
salvage yard.

Indeed - even better, as they are the originals from the 50's when the house
was built, I'm going to keep them and reuse them as a small feature
somewhere in the garden. They're coming out because as you can see they've
been rather abused with adhesive from those crappy yellow tiles and room
layout modifications mean that I'd be unlikely to be able to repair a
layout using them very well. But for outside, if they look a bit rough
that'll probably be OK.
