We began November, laying drains and water pipes. We completed the floor tiles in the Calf shed and Stables.

We completed the first wash coat in the living area, kitchen and bedrooms of the English barn, and constructed the kitchen cabinets.

Larch cladding was fitted above the North and South side windows and doors of the Haybarn, and the south side of the English barn.

We began December by fitting windows on the Dairy and knocking through the wall separating the Piggery and Dairy. The piggery bedroom would be located in the end of the Dairy. By mid-December we had finished insulating the walls and ceiling of the Dairy and begun construction of the stud wall partitions, we were now in a position to do all the first fix plumbing and electrics.

We now began tiling the bathroom walls in the Stables, English barn, Haybarn and Calf Shed.

By mid-January the Calf Shed, Stables, Haybarn and English barn were all painted. The English barn was quickly coming together with kitchen units and work surface installed, the floor tiled.

The Dairy was now insulated, and plaster boarded.

By the end of January the kitchen worktop and been fitted in the Haybarn and we’d begun laying the bathroom floor tiles.
