Renovation Progress





These three pictures are of the same aspect of the building. They show that things are finally being reconstructed after weeks of clearing the site. This part of the house was in the worst condition of all. There was actually a large tree growing right next to it that had pushed the wall over. The roof had caved in and it was fairly unsafe. I've got loads more pictures so I might put those up at a later date.
The stone wall was really not worth saving here and so redbrick has been used and will be rendered/creppied later.
I am a bit disappointed that we are going to loose the little pitched roof detail. Already financial restraints are kicking in, and we have to go for the cheaper construction. No-one else thinks it will matter, but I do! This is really the back of the house and so less important. However not putting the pitch in will make this a more boring facade. But better to save money here I suppose, and have enough left to finish the building.
