This involved removing the roof, adding another floor, then putting the roof back on, whilst we were living in it.
We started by removing the outer skin of bricks, because it doesn't carry any weight and it was all being changed. So we spent a Saturday knocking and tapping all these bricks out and stacking them to be sold (3000bricks, 10p each), then sat down in the lounge with a cuppa.
My Dad sat his capacious arse on the sofa, the pressure wave surged through the room and was just powerful enough to push both windows out of their frames, now that they weren't really being supported by anything.
