How long since the last entry !!!!!
I hadn't realised that my last entry was in Nov last year. Where has the time gone.
As with many self builds, particularly those on a DIY basis we have been very subject to weather slowing things down, not that it could be much slower.
But, in fact compared with last year we have done loads.
The NOT wall (the side of the barn that was open) is now a wall.
This wall is 16m long, with 4 lots of French door gaps.
double skin block with 150 cavity and 4 heavy lintels.
It then turns the corner to head south.
We also had a big overgrown bank which we dug out and cleared.
Then out next door farmer came and took away all our soil spoil which we didn't need for some holes in his field.
About 40 ton we think.
And in the process flattened the bank.
I then planted a hedge and seeded the bank.
Inside what was the barn we have started digging down, in total it needs to go down 500mm so this is just a start
The back bank needed digging back to allow for the digger for drains when we get to that stage.
And finally in March we've started taking some of the remaining roof off, to be the stables roof in due course
Hard to believe this has gone from bog to beach in a couple of months.
Once the roof is dismantled then we can start with the trenches for phase 2 of the build.
Thanks for reading.
See you next time,.
