Barn Works Latest - Getting there!

We should be ready to start moving back into the Barn in a couple of weeks now. It will take several days to sort ourselves out and find places to put things while we decorate and get floor coverings organised. We also have to have Summer Cottage fully ready for the holiday visitors who are arriving at the end of this month. The other cottages are already occupied.

There is still a fair bit to do at Roskhill - but our builder is confident that the place will be fit to live in when Sue gets back from her next Kent trip - she leaves on the 14th and will be home on the 27th. And that really WILL be 'home' - back at Roskhill!

Here's some pictures taken today. The outside is still rather a mess, but tidying all that up will not take very long. The front door for the garage hasn't made it to Skye yet. The side door and window have been recycled from the Barn, which is why they look a little odd - but they are at the end of the building, so will not be seen unless you wander up the garden!

Garage roof and guttering all done, though rendering not yet complete
 - waiting for some better weather!!
Oil tank in place too - nicely hidden away

The ground floor bathroom.
 I will be tiling the floor, so the WC and wash basin
are standing on wooden feet at the moment

The upstairs sitting room
The two doors on the floor will fill the big hole which leads to Sue's 'playroom'.
They will eventually be glazed with stained glass panels

This is the landing - difficult to photograph!
The wood-framed hole nearest the camera
 will be filled with a glazed door and a glazed side panel
so with the big windows and quirky slopes and angles,
the landing will be something of a feature!
