two beams out, single-handedly by muscleman Roy. The car belongs to our neighbour Didi, she'll have to find a new spot soon.


this is the next stage in our war against next- doors poultry. Not me acting like a chicken, but the netting we've put up.

It's gonna get worse before it gets better!
Well it's a start. I've begun to demolish the first floor of the larger barn. I'm taking up the chestnut floorboards, some of which are over 60 cms (24'') wide. The plan is to reuse some of them for internal doors - à la mode Provencale (horizontal boarding). The supporting beams, also of chestnut will be reused as ceiling joist in the first floor bedrooms.
