Work has started and we have snow!

 

Last week it turned cold and the snows came. It made us realise how lucky we were when the weather was so warm a week previously.

 







 

Snow on Arkadia. Everything looks so different.

 

Billy, our builder has now organised a team to start on the house and he has sent us some photos to show how the work has been going in the first week.

 

These two rooms have now been knocked into one large room which will be the kitchen/dining area.

 

The room is just a shell now and all the ceiling has been removed except the beams.
The next job is to put the French doors in, tidy up the beams and knock a door into the next barn.

Taking away the ceiling has revealed a huge roof space. Not sure how to utilise it yet but maybe we can do something in the future.

 

 

Meanwhile..... this is the lounge before they started work on it.

 

 

Now all the brickwork has been removed. The next job is to remove the wooden frame holding up the ceiling and replace it with a concrete lintel.

 

That's about all for now. We are not sure how fast the work will progress in the next week or too due to the weather but will update when we have more pictures.
