Full steam ahead

10 March 2014

Tom is back on site with a vengeance and has sent through photos of his first few days on site.

As he puts it, he's 'had a good clean up' of beams, windows and floors. Note the oak pegs in the A-frame.

The down lighters are in place, thanks to Brian.

This is the kitchen window. Power points and switches are making an appearance...

Tom: 'The screed is drying out nicely and I’m very pleased with it.' Looks good from where I'm standing too, Tom.

This is the pair of windows overlooking the stairwell. We love them! They recall the fact that the wall of the barn stopped short of the roof along  this side of the barn.

And we are delighted that Tom has preserved the fragment of stone wall...

The guys have been working on the external bardage boarding (Larch wood) and managed to finish that by Friday. What d'you think? Rather a nice quirky detail, isn't it? 

Tom expects the window shutters to be delivered to site at the beginning of this week, when they will be all set to start fitting them, having got 'all the fiddly bits' completed last week.

It's all go chez nous.
