Although the work is still to start on the exterior wall of the extension, the internal blockwork seems to be shooting up. In much of the extension we are up to ceiling level. We can build up into the gables, but by the end of the week much of the blockwork will be complete.
As the walls go up, the thing that is most striking is the height of the rooms inside. This makes this space feel very open.
Despite the showery weather we are making good progress on the blockwork for the extension.
The large brown pipe protruding from the wall is the air intake for the log burning stove that will be installed in the lounge.
You can see part of the dry stone wall in the courtyard garden in the foreground.
There is a large square opening between the lounge and the kitchen. A large oak truss will sit on top of this wall supporting the roof.
