The rebuilding of the extension is coming on well. The weather yesterday was cooler than the previous day when the temperature hit 31 degrees! All very nice, but just a little to warm to work in. It is also to warm to do any pointing as the lime mortar will dry too quickly in the sun and crack. So the inside jobs we have been keeping in case it rains are now being done because it is too hot to work in the sun!
The coal hole has now been re-instated. The intention is that we will use this to hold flowers just as the previous owners had done. This is all part of trying to re-instate the property to its previous configuration.
The wall plates for the roof have been put into position so that the walls can be built up to meet it. This is the easiest way of rebuilding the walls in this rather quirky part of the building.
The hole for the coal hole is being reinstated to hold flowers.
