Old Barns

Joan's sister Gillian and her husband Dave are in the process of building their own house on land adjacent to our 2 houses.

They started a lot earlier than us, and although they have a website set-up (www.go-build.org/oldbarns/) they are not very good at keeping it up to date (to say the least)!!

Therefore, following numerous requests we will be adding some photos of their build on here from time to time so that various children, neices, nephews, parents/in-laws and other interested parties can keep up to date.

Friday 29th August Velux windows all in place.	Tuesday 2nd September The roof panels on the first side are in place.
Monday 8th September The roof is finished and the final delivery of doors has arrived.	Wednesday 10th September The larch cladding has begun - this is the second side to be attended to, and the first gable.
Monday 15th September Larch cladding is progressing - up to the second gable on the wall of Gili & Dave's bedroom.	Friday 26th September Progress has slowed a little on the outside of the house as we wait for some cladding materials to arrive and for the plumber to finish installing the solar panels prior to dropping the scaffolding. Meantime Dave is working on his 'cupola' - the feature of the upstairs landing.
Friday 10th October The scaffold is down and the cladding has had its first coat of paint.	Wednesday 15th October The woodwork on the porch nears completion.
Tuesday 28th October Brian & Shug (the builders) have started on the blockwork.	Wednesday 12th November The block work is now complete on the outside, and Dave is workng hard to finish the Caihtness Slab flooring inside before the internal partitions can be started.
