Sigma Kera Lift. Full version, well nearly.

Try lifting and placing that tile without it! Excellent example!
Re fitting this failed floor is proving quite tricky.
That piece is for around the left side of the staircase. Client is asking that we insert the pieces back as the original 900 x 900's
Which is not too bad when you can put two pieces in side by side, one goes in left to right, he other right to left, simple.
When they're 1800's and one piece is to tuck in under both sides of a space, yeah, not quite so simples. 🙁
Oh yeah, don't help much either when originally the staircase was fitted on top of the original floor! 😱

What you gonna do about staircase?
 

Well broke one today attempting it.
It's the other half to the one in the image I've just posted.
As you look at this one, the long piece goes down left side of staircase, you can see the notched piece for the newel post, and the large square piece wraps around the front of the bottom tread and reaches all the way across to the opposite wall.
That one was easy enough.
The one I broke wraps around the right side, under 3 newel posts and in to two cupboards, then across to the opposite wall and thro the new utility/bathroom door. Half thro door, half in to the wall.
No skirting to be fitted, so no play there!
I broke it trying to lower it under the 3rd newel post (which goes straight up two floors) which is in the middle of the two large pull out cupboards under the stairs. Haha
We've had to excavate under the opposite wall in the hope that we can use that space to manoeuvre it in. Second try first thing tomorrow.
Still, broken pieces made great template, and we can still utilise them for cuts.
