Made some good progress today, despite the rain.  It always helps with two of us working together.

All of the facing stones have been “robbed out”, cleaned of any mortar and neatly stacked for later use (whatever that might be!).

Easily removed using a tow rope tied to the pickup truck.  We will use the chainsaw on this tomorrow.

Latterly these stalls had been used for storing coal, but original these were the outside toilets for the three cottages. There was a trap door at the back of the building and I can only imagine that this was used to "scoop" out the contents. Yuck!

These are all of the facing stones from the lean-to.  The bricks we will use in the foundation of the dry stone wall in the orchard.
