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!

Haha, I forgot to post photos of the bedroom blinds made a couple of weeks ago...no more cardboard for us 😁 ( you must excuse the mess - we are still trying to find places for endless amounts of stuff)🤪
Lovely rainbow after (even) more rain
The Roman blind sewing is continuing. We now have two funky chicken utility room blinds. Only 7 more blinds to go. Lol ! #interiordesign #newhome #barnconversion
A week of torrential rain has done wonders for the lawn and trees 😂 #barnconversion #ecohome #landscaping #Derbyshire
We have a bed and cardboard for blinds......but we are in! #movingday #barns #barnconversion #barnrenovation
May the fourth be with us.....we are packing to move in! #barn #barnconversion #barnrenovation #livingthedream
Patio underway - hoorah. The Indian sandstone will show it's true colours when the dust is washed off, but it looks great already! #indiansandstone #barns #barnconversion #dreamhome #cantwait #derbyshire
Kerb stones being laid at the front of the barn - this where all carparking will be. It's great to see all the big piles of clay disappear and order being restored! # barns #barnconversion #kerbstones #dreamhome #derbyshire
Courtyard update. Footings for brick walls separating the properties are ready for concrete, and 'stoning up' for the patio. #barn #barnconversion #landscaping #footings
Bat watch! Good job he is a woolly bat 😂 #barn #barnconversion #edsmenagerie #crochet #dreamhome #ecohome
Ta da! Swipe to see the kitchen unveiled. We tried all the appliances this weekend and all is working except for the hob. Mark spark is in today so will get that fixed. It's coming along! #excitingtimes #dreamhome #ecohome #derbyshire #barn #barnconversion #kitchen #kitchendesign
Now you see it, now you don't......love the popup power point! We went over to the barns to do a bit of cleaning and check out the kitchen now it is connected up to the electricity. We need to do a bit of reading up on the all the shiny appliances.......so much gadgetry is great! #newkitchen #barn #barnconversion #nearlyfinished #dreamkitchen
Against all the odds (as the wind was dreadful yesterday) an army of roofers finished the dining room roof. The solar panels should be fitted on Monday and then the scaffold can come down. A huge milestone! All the barns are completely weather tight now.........except for the 'dream sauna' door (or log store as it is currently designated). #barn #barnconversion #roof #weathertight #dreamhome #granddesign #derbyshire
Welcome to our rented hovel. The leaky window is really bad at the moment, and now it's dripping in the so called 'kitchen'.😱🤪😵🤬 Can't wait to move to our warm and dry barn #cantwait #dreamhome #ecohome #derbyshire #leak #barnconversion #barn #granddesigns
