Barn Latest - Some Progress in Spite of Adversity!

Our sturdy chaps have continued to work this week, in spite of gales, snow and power cuts. The garage walls grow ever higher, and there is plumbing and electric cable in there now. The worst of the weather drove the chaps inside, where they have removed much of the ground floor wall where the stairs will go, after fitting a lintel so the wall above won't collapse!

The garage - coming along
A lintel supports the upper wall.
There's just some blockwork to be knocked though now.
The extension will be a timber-frame, made off-site.
This is inside of the wall pictured above.
The stairs will start here.

Looks like there is some good progress now, Richard, and it will become all the more exciting as the garage and new entrance take shape. I hope the team doing the work manage to get the roof on the garage before Christmas but, knowing little of what is involved, I may be being optimistic for you!

Hi Sara, Yes, it has come along well in the last week or so. I don't think the roof will go on the garage for a while, though the timber frame 'kit' for the extension might go up next week - well, that's me guessing!
