January Update - Week 41 (sunday)

Two windows down and one to go...

Luckily we were blessed with the weather on the sunday as we moved to the western elevation (the windy side). Before we fitted the frame in, the first task was to lift one of the original flagstones inside for the wood burning stoves to sit on. It felt like a team building event at first while we decided how to go about lifting a piece of slate the weight of a small car! Eventually between 8 of us the flagstone was in place in the centre of the barn.

Back to fitting the window frames and within an hour we had the main barn door frame in place (after removing a few badly positioned stones). So I would like to acknowledge the help of our very enthusiastic volunteers; (pictured below, l-r) Vicky, Noodle, Claire, Chris, Simon, (Dave), Chris, Dad, Cath and Dave. Thank you guys.
