Oct -
The outside was completed with the exterior door in the cladding recalling the original building.
Sept
Started the interior painting in Sept - upstairs only as we can't do downstairs until the heating is in.
Wheel Well
August and September also saw the rebuilding of the wheel well, whilst we waited on the boreholes for the heating.
There was a lot to dismantle, more than we thought, but at least the view was nice and the weather fine!
Now the walls are all square and less likely to end up in the burn.

July - timber
all the timber we have been drying is finally ready to go to the saw mill.
The lean-to was dismantled to - in line with the method statement obviously! the stone looks lovely where it had been hidden inside and really makes you appreciate the space better.

April 2013 windows
The windows are starting to go in and the house now seems flooded in light. There is a bit of trimming to do so it's not a quick job but they do look good.
The veiw from the inside isn't bad either, although I think Frasers room has the best view.

March - lots of deliveries
It's the beginning of March and we have had lots of deliveries.
Plants - 12 dogwood, 6 alder, 12 holly, 50 hornbeam, 1 sweet chestnut, 25 roses, 3 gooseberry, 12 silver birch, 3 bird cherry & 6 holm oak.
We've planted a few already but typically the lovely days of sunshine we have been having recently have turned to wind and rain
also....
Windows - 14 oak framed windows to fit original openings, made by Tom.
They need treating before they can be fitted and the glass needs to be put in, but they look rather smart.

The workshop is now weather tight AND the stairs inside the house have been completed at last.
We have also had an electrician in to do the first fix.
