November Update - Weeks 31-32

Dave has spent much of the last two weeks doing what a project manager does best and making sure nothing held up the building and roofing contractors.

As you can see the stonework is almost finished, but they are scraping around on site for those last few stones to fill the remaining gaps.

The utility room has now been completely rebuilt and is ready for roof slates to be fixed on.

With Dave sourcing and preparing the oak soffit and fascia boards the roofers are able to start tiling the roof next week.

With Dad (M) now on site we have been able to start raking out the old mortar ready for repointing the whole barn when the weather dries up next spring.

We have also sourced our wood burning stove which we are hoping to install as soon as the floor screed is down to provide some much needed heat.

The next major stage is fitting the oak windows most of which should be ready (albeit without glazing) in the next week.
