10) Take off one window -> cut arround 1.5 square metres of wall and instalation new door in that place
11) Replaceing 3 radiators (the same place as old one), move 2 radiators to different place.
12) Remove all building rubbish.
If anyone could give me an idea for the whole or part job I would be very happy.
