Barn Works Update - Almost done!

The chaps have made more good progress today. The central heating and all the power points are now working, as are most of the lights. The skirting and architraves are also coming long well, and another mis-placed light switch has been moved to the right location. We are so pleased that we employed a small local contractor to undertake our rebuild - the team of workers are so friendly and cheerful, and barely a frown is raised when I ask for a correction or yet another 'tweak' to the original plan.

I am now calling in to the Barn every morning for a quick chat with whoever is working that day, and then I pop in again in the evening to see what has been done, and make sure all is the way we want it to be. I have to say, I am totally delighted. The Barn is looking so pretty. Sue has not visited the build-site very often, so when she gets back from her trip to Kent, I know she will be blown away!

Here are today's pictures...

This is the glazed door and side-light from the upstairs sitting room to the landing.
The landing is full of interesting slopes and shapes,
and has the wonderful pointy-top window onto the view,
so we wanted to make the feature fully view-able from the sitting room. 
Ceiling and wall lights have now been installed
...memo to self - Buy light bulbs...!!
Outside in evening sunlight.
The garage door is on site, awaiting fitting.
The scaffolding is gone, but guttering and some rendering remain to be completed,
plus the garden needs a serious tidy-up!
