After about 3 years of ups and downs its finally looking like our Barn restoration project may be going ahead. A meeting a week or so ago saw the builders about to be instructed and it was all systems go.
Chris and I have a lot of work to do clearing out the sheds and finding somewhere to store all the 'junk' thats accummulated. Well Chris says its his toolshed workshop but really alot of it is junk!!Why do we keep all this stuff?
I have lots of plants and shrubbery to remove so that the building can be repointed, Im getting Dad down to help me with all that but goodness knows where everything is going to go.
The ugly bulk hopper for cattle feed has also had to be removed and that was yesterdays task. Chris's cousin Stephen and his son James came to take it away to their farm.
I couldnt resist taking some pics and wondering if I should label them Danger Men at Work!!
Good luck, its great starting a new project like this. we're renovating 2 buildings for holiday cottages, what will you be using your barn for? and how long will it all take? Best wishes, Debs
ReplyDeleteIt will still be a barn but in better condition, its not going to be cottages. We are opening up the archways and putting windows and doors back and putting a stone roof back on. It was built around 1780 so it will be nice to have it looking like it should!
