September Update Weeks 22-24
The barn is now finally looking more like a house! Dave managed to fix most of the first floor joists in place so now you can picture the living space upstairs. The picture shows the herring bone joist braces being hammered in place. A mixture of wooden noggins and metal braces were used depending on where the internal stud partition walls will sit.
Baden Powell Contractors are still on site creating the window openings and facing the new blockwork with the original stone, their expertise is obvious when you see them at work and they are close to finishing the end gable wall.
Paul is continuing to work on the oak trusses which will be lifted on in the next couple of weeks. Mum and Dad (A) paid us a visit at the weekend, luckily the weather was gorgeous so they saw the barn in it’s full glory! And thanks to Zoe and Tim for the fantastic picnic.
