Garden Room - our work begins day 2 - more paint
Another cold day, but the second coat only took us 4.5 hours! Can you spot all the window beading strips, and thats just a few of them. Peter has painted the french door end of the barn. I'm pictured here painting the little door that fits over the new window above the french doors. Once the new guttering - cast iron style, arrives we will paint the side walls then put up the new guttering all in one go. Peter found some hinges in his store of 'junk' which match the hinges on the right hand side for the old doors, why the hinges were odd in the first place we'll never know, but he's pretty pleased with himself. I suppose I shouldn't nag him to clear his junk out now its proved useful.
We have also ordered the interior and exterior lighting today, so we are moving along. We are planning to have oak cask water barrels so have had a search of the internet to try and source some in our area. So all in all another successful day.
Neil and co are back tomorrow to carry on with their bit

Garden Room - Day 6
All the external woodwork has now been completed - the lead facing on the bricks, cladding and corner edging replaced. French/stable doors and door furniture chosen. Scaffolding in place to start insulating and boarding the inside of the roof. Its all coming along nicely. Soon it will be down to us to start the mammoth task of painting both inside and out, approximately 160 square metres of wood!! So if you fancy getting dirty I'll get you a brush.
