A small but essential job was the creation of a manhole over the incoming water supply. This was duly shuttered, concrete poured and there is now easy access to the mains water supply.
Drains were laid around the back of the porch and the plastic membrane was secured to the outside of the porch wall - this whole area was then back-filled with gravel.
A small retaining wall was built to the side of the doorway.
The porch roof then took up the remainder of the week. New timbers were laid over the main porch area, allowing for the building in of a small velux.
Then an old oak entrance was created in front of the doorway. Old oak beams from the ruin were cleaned up and used.
The whole roof over the porch and entrance was then battened, felted, battened and then tiled with 'under' and 'over' tiles, the same as the rest of the house.
For the time being - work has ceased on the building.
