From the back of the house you can see the lintels in place and most of the brickwork is now complete, apart from the peaks. The botton left wood panel is there to allow the builders access, and the doors will be fitted once everyone has stopped going in and out with wheelbarrows etc.






The front of the House is looking better, and hidden away under the scaffolding you can just see the sandstone arch above the front door, there is a second one due to be fitted above the window as well, to match.




Inside the house the plastering out continues, with most of the rooms now complete - and starting to dry out. Its strange how the different plaster colours, from wet to dry change the size of the room, the dry light coloured rooms look fairly large now, and you can see where everything is going to fit, well hopefully.








The fireplace is under way. Here you can see the brick sides, and then pieces of plasterboard either side - this will be where the fireplace sits, so you will see some brick and then the brick interior. There is an Aga Wenlock going in here. The little bit of metal you can see is where the woodburner will connect into, and the rest of the chimney is made up of a Pumice liner which will go up inside the Chimney breast, and this is surrounded by small pumice stones.





You can see a better view of the brickwork from here, and the piles of dirt, which will be used for landscaping once we work out the best way to finish the front area off.
