Moving day!

A bit late but here are some of the pictures of moving day .. a very long wet day ..

our first meal ..

and cooking it on the wood-stove ..

Building work going apace!

There are holes in the walls all over the place, and other holes being filled in, and the new format it taking shape!
Looking for wires in the walls ..

Looking for pipes ....

Removing the walls of the old loo from the little bedroom ..

The outside wall of the new ensuite being built in the kitchen ..

The new doorway through to the ensuite from the little bedroom (on the left) and the little window from the old cloakroom now forming part of the end wall.

The doorway into the new en-suite being built under the stairs ..

The new bookcase/bedside shelf arrangement in the little bedroom being knocked through and built into space in the bathroom ..

Moving the radiator in the bigger bedroom ..

and its new position ..

but by now it will all look different again .. next update in ten days time when it is finished..

The woodburner and the tar-pitch man ..

Here is the little woodburner waiting to be picked up ..

The man with the pot of hot tar came to stick new roofing felt over the hole where the chimney of the old woodburner was.  The woodburner itself has been Freecycled ..
Here is the large drum in which he heated the tar using a gas burner.

Here is the bucket which he has used for sometime for carrying the tar

Here is the hole in the roof which needed covering :-

Here he is ladled the liquid tar into the bucket ..

Using a mop to paint tar from the bucket onto the roof ..

Applying a rectangle off roofing felt ..

The final layer of reflective paint
