Interior Stuff - getting ahead of ourselves!

Oooooh, this is the wood burner we've chosen to keep us snug in the winter!




And these are the floor tiles for the whole ground floor - quarried, cut & polished right here in the Lot! They're a bit expensive, but our excuse is that they're an investment - ahem

Roof Update.......

.....it's off on one whole side - yay!!

(well, it will be a living room one day)

Clive & Suzy's dog Maddie after a hard days graft....

Corblimeyguvnori'mtired........

Done a proper days graft today and no mistake (though I'm sure builder Clive & his wife Suzy would disagree - they're like the bloomin energiser bunnies. Tsk) - just over a half of the roof tiles off on one side of the barn. You can see everything inside now! Like the spiders webs - eurgh.....

Spider Monkey Clive!

Get orff moi laaaahhhnd!

Interior! Hmmm - looking good eh?

Work, work & more work....

Been clearing again today - completely shattered..... Nice to see the progress though! Don't you think its a bit churchy?? Just need to get the second floor beams down now, then next week its on to the roof! Exciting....



Clive (our builder) took off a few tiles to see what we could save so D took an arty photo - nice, huh?

Today at work.....

The side of the barn has been cleared now (a LOT of hard work - our legs were ripped to shreds by the brambles) and today we moved on to the interior - pretty dusty work! Anyway, we found a few moments to take some pics......

It's starting to look like a proper building site.....



See how tiny I look in the big doorway?? Way to look skinny Kate!

Boys on a break

Managed to get a lot of the floorboards removed from the "second floor" in the barn today. We're going to finish it tomorrow, then move on to removing the supports and interior wall. Yay. Anyway, proper shattered so that's all for now.......

There IS some indoor plumbing!!

We were investigating the cellars (pretty rank & NO light) and have found a shower!!!! Gawd knows who might have used it - not sure you'd feel clean afterwards......

Forgotten all about this hard work malarkey.....

Getting stuck in to the real hard work this week - been clearing all the wood/old tiles/rubble round the barn today. Haven't been this tired in years! (ok, a lot of the rubble we had to move happened to be on a trailer already, but hey!)

Dave doing "catalogue man" pose with the trailer he manfully... er.... trailed from the barn.

Kate posing with tiles which she picked up by hand and restacked by hand, er, womanfully.
(note : photo taken after wheelbarrow emptied. Tsk)

Looking better already! Just a few more bits to move..... it'll be reet!
