November Update Weeks 33-35

Finally the roofers have finished slating the roof and it looks fantastic. Over the last 2 weeks Dave and dad oiled and fixed all the oak soffit and fascia boards which you can see just under the roof in the pictures.

Once these were fitted all the gaps between the stone work and fascia boards were plugged with render to stop all the many resident birds from settling in.

As the contractors have now finished on site we were able to lay the services in the utility room so we now have a fully connected soil pipe system all ready for toilets and capped off sink drainage pipes. The hardcore and sand was then laid ready for the final concrete floor.


Another timely job finished just in time for the season downpours was the guttering which provided to be quite a difficult job when none of the edges on our barn are straight!
