cjsparkey Posted Tuesday at 12:49 Posted Tuesday at 12:49 What a fantastic and existing project, we’re in D&G and have just achieved BC sign off on our new build this month. Happy to share what knowledge we have and local contacts if needed.
JohnMo Posted Tuesday at 13:00 Posted Tuesday at 13:00 Is it a knock down and start again or do you need to reuse?
Dreadnaught Posted Tuesday at 14:03 Posted Tuesday at 14:03 I might suggest you need a bit of airtightness tape but other than that it looks ready to me Lovely location! 1 1

No, we are keeping as much as we can with a new build extension to the main house(one in the distance). Middle building will be stores/workshop/garage and the stand alone barn to be restored. 1
