February 2013

February - Weather: Very cold, then snow for few mornings but all gone by the afternoon, after the morning routines, logs in and stoves cleaned out most of the work inside. But a few days outside making ready for planting.
On with the hallway Picture bottom right of the lintel in place and the scaffolding down, which we needed inside. Hope to be back to the wall in March/April.
Clear house main
  Now the Sunday Trucs et puces well car boots have started up, also we have cleared around one of the old oaks that has been down for many years, more to find though!

Gerry on with the hall, I just help moving the scaffolding for the next section each weekend. So in the weekdays my job is to drill through the gable ends and re-do all the temporary wiring. One hole at a time with a meter drill!
 
 

Also take apart and clean and rewire some of the lighting we keep finding at the car boots, well they do match the building.
Other inside jobs are to make up a stand for the planer/thicknesser we managed to obtain seconded hand. Then to make up a few trollies to move stuff around.
Gerry has completed one side so move the scaffolding, it is amazing how light the hall is becoming.
 
Gerry outside for a few days as the sun is out starting the gardens and Poly tunnel all in preparation for the spring, it is still very cold though. Me well rotivating, just watching out for the rabbit holes.
Gerry has now finished so one side of the scaffolding down so we have some room to start the studwork wall.
This will be a challenge to give ourselves a flat wall to put the plasterboard on as the wall is all over the place. Above, the log shed is slowly going down so we can take it down and move to the new one created last month.
 
Next month building the hall stud walls, wiring and may be plaster boarding. Outside planting and lots of digging.
