Building Site

September 23, 2016/ Heather

About flipping time........we have scaffolding, so not quite a building site, but it is looking promising. First task is to install sewers and man hole covers down the lane (and BT cabling) so that is underway at the moment. Hoorah!

'Stable' doors installed at last. They look like doors from the outside and normal windows from the inside with block walls and window cill. We wanted to preserve the look of the courtyard without having loads of openings into the barns. They look fab! Oh, and the roof is going on barn 3! #barnrenovation #barnconversionblog #barnbuilding #barn #barndoors #whiteheatherbarn #wearegettingthere #forevererhome
Windows and doors in barn 2. A little bit closer to completion! #barnrenovation #howarthswindows #barnconversionblog #barnbuilding #barn #barnconversion #whiteheatherbarn
It's well dressing time of year in Derbyshire and this is the centerpiece of our local well dressing. #derbyshire #welldressing #swanwick #whiteheatherbarn
Now and before pictures - the mahoosive piles of bricks have finally been moved from the front of the barns. They've not all been cleaned yet, but there is an end in site! #barnrenovation #barns #barnconversion #brickcleaning #reclaimedbricks #whiteheatherbarn
Brickwork detail on barn 3 to mimic the original dove holes. #barnrenovation #barnconversion #brickwork #whiteheatherbarn

Still brick cleaning......sigh.The big push is on to clear the front of rubble and rubbish. Also the brickies are in danger of running out of bricks so we've got to crack on. #brickcleaning #barnrenovation #barnconversion #reclaimedbricks #whiteheatherbarn
Crochet baby blanket......this is how to spend a freezing snowy Sunday afternoon - crochet and a movie 😂 #crochet #crochetgrannysquares #whiteheatherbarn #crochetbabyblanket
Yet more snow...... And we only just got the builders back last week from the last lot of weather.....aaaaarghhhhh!!!!! #barnconversion #barn #granddesigns #whiteheatherbarn #dreamhome #barnrenovation
Look! We have fire! Very timely addition to the barn. Sadly it's only a 5kw fire intended to supplement the u/floor heating of which there is none, so it's not exactly toasty warm yet, but should help with the drying out. Nothing else is happening with all the snow, that's for sure! #logburner #charnwoodlogburner #barnrenovation #barnconversionblog #whiteheatherbarn #barn
It's not all bad at work when you can cross London tower bridge and eat chocolate all day long🍫#divinechocolate
