Week starting 15th December 2008 - rooms are forming!

As the stonework at the front of the building starts to rise and the door and window openings are formed, the internal room divisions also start to take shape. Then the internal stone work starts. The large wall dividing the salon and the master bedroom is stone faced each each side and the archway between the dining room and the kitchen is formed. Now it is time to slow down for Xmas.

Week starting Oct 27th 2008 - The ruin starts to come down

We arrived back from Spain at the weekend and so the week starting the 27th October was the start of the demolition works. The building was very unsafe without its roof. The roof was carefully removed, dodging the rotten timbers and then the business of taking down the walls and saving the stone began.
