It has been a busy few weeks, but the results are really showing now, the roof is mostly done and we have been working on the finishing touches inside and out:

We have a terrace now to enjoy the warm Sunny days!

The hard work on the roof is still going on, but in the meantime we have finally placed the stairs in the house!

Now it is much easier (and not so scary!) to go up and down....and they look just great!!

April update 3

Most of the south part of the roof is finished ! We will start soon with the windows and finishing up the rooftiling.

Small update, south side of the roof is now being worked on. You can also see the first signs of the road leading up to the house.

Finally the largest part of the house is being renovated, the roof ! see pictures below for a progress update.

  
The roof is coming off ! First work is getting all the old tiles and support beams off, a dirty job as it has the combined dust and dirt of at least 50 years :)

 
First part of the roof is ready, all old material is removed, beams are cleaned and new wooden planks are attached on top of the old beams.

 

The result of some of the hard work, inside view of the new wooden planks that are painted white on attached on top of the support beams.

  

First part of the roof is water proof ! on top of the wooden planks, insulation  (10cm) has been added and a waterproof plastic layer ontop of that. To fix it all on its place small wooden beams have been nailed.

There's been some work done and we can really see some big results now:


The walls are starting to take shape and have been covered, it's starting to look more and more like a real home!


The inner brick wall is finished, it is a nice focal point of the farm:




The terrace is also taking shape now, it will be a nice place to sit and enjoy the sun!
