You
probably can't see a lot of difference in the overall project as, from
this angle, most of the work is still well hidden from view. Also, due
to the delays in getting the finance in place, there is still only one
person working full time on the project. I won't go into the nightmares
of the paperwork involved in a project like this, but believe me it can
certainly delay and dismay!!
Despite my little moan, work on the Bull Shed and reception area is
progressing. As you can see from the picture the walls are getting restored
and the concrete sub floors are now in place. A new doorway has been cut
into the reception area and the existing doorway into the Bullshed has
been bolstered up with the inclusion of a steel lintel.
This picture shows the Bull Shed and reception area from the same angle as last month. The walls on the Bull Shed (right hand) are ready for lintels and the walls to the reception area are about half way up. The breeze block wall will eventually be clad with timber so that the old style of the buildings can still be maintained.
June was not a bad month weather wise, but I'm writing this on the 5th July when we haven't seen the sun for a week and it has rained every day of this month so far! The rain last Monday turned the yard into a virtual lake. Perhaps we should consider watersports. I hope my report at the end of the month is somewhat different!
This baby robin has been an almost constant companion during the month. Perhaps he's been hired by the building inspector to keep an eye on things!!
Call back soon for further updates.
