saveasteading Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Moving in to the building after 2 years in caravan. It's a big day. Some comfort for the on- site couple and visitors, and we are all pleased with it. This area is all conversion with original timber ties on show, joists and rafters hidden 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Interested in the bedroom (last picture), I assume there is a normal window as well as the roof windows? Looking all very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we had no existing openings there ( I should post the ,' before" photo. As it was the middle of the stable.) We considered forming an.opening but decided against on cost and stability grounds. It is very bright in there with double skylights. Wrong direction for seeing the northern lights from bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The field had the barley that will be Speyside whisky in a few years. The distance is looking straight towards @ProDave but there are hills between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 It has a direct protected route to the primary door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 The exposed stone on the walls is a heat sink, but the bco was pragmatic and likes it as "heritage". Upstairs the ties are exposed for heritage too, but it also provides a tiny bit more headroom and much more feeling of space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes, then I think I can show that it is unnecessary. The chunkiness of the timber and where is the source. It certainly doesnt worry me.

There was a nice photo of a barbecue with beer. 10.00 at night and still sunny and warm.....and the view as seen and another over ancient woodland. The main thing is that the whole building (2/3 of the inside still to do) is dry for the first time in manyp decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
