Stairs
Pleased to say that the stairs are now in, which changes the whole feel of the building – makes it start to feel like somewhere that may one day be habitable. Although I miss clambering up and down a ladder.
they started off as a pile of bits of wood (this is just some of them):
Then took shape:
They take up much less space in the main room than I thought they would and consequently dominate the room less, which is good. Looking at the first of the three pictures, I thought they’d extend a foot further to the right – that they don’t is by far preferable. I also thought that they’d cut across the ventilation slit higher up and so cover up the bottom of the slit – like this the lines are far nicer.
The quality of the wood and finish is as good as I hoped – all in all very happy with them. But then they have cost the same price as a (very) small car…
Perhaps things are moving on … we’ll get there!

Firm Foundations?
I’ve had a few concerns about the foundations of the barn, specifically how much of the soil that has built up around the walls we will be able to clear…
Flooring
As well as the health benefits of not using carpets in your conversion project, alternatives can also help your bank balance when incorporated into the building during its conversion.
Bees
Last year I noticed that there was a colony of bees living in the base of a red wood tree near my garden gate.
