More oak is moved into the house - Feb 2010

Two lots of oak have been taken in during February, the green oak to start the construction of the mezzanine floor in the salon. Bob put all this up by himself with the use of a block and tackle and a lot of bumps to the head!

The old oak beams rescued from the barn have been cleaned up, sanded down and then brought back in and now fixed up (again one man with a block and tackle) into position as these will show below the ceiling height.

The sheds are growing - Dec 09/Jan 10

Over the winter work continues on the outdoor buildings. This did mean that the roof was put on with Bob on hands and knees having fallen and broken a rib in his back. The larger open space is to be an outdoor dining room with the far corner forming and outdoor kitchen. The two closed in rooms are going to be a store room for lawn mower etc. The end room with the window and view down the valley is going to be the office.
