We’re having a lovely weekend in Crickhowell and Llangattock. We’re staying at the Horseshoe Inn, Llangattock, which is full of inspirational ideas for using salvaged resources.

We’ve visited Webbs in Crickhowell where we’ve discovered a great range of Dimplex artificial log burner stoves which we think will be the solution to our needs.

We’ve also visited Beatrice and Maud in Crickhowell, who have a lovely mix of antique items that will really fit into the conversion, just need to hold off a while until we know where everything will fit.

With the concrete down, it’s full steam ahead with the studwork. This starts with a course of 3 bricks, which are almost all down. The studwork will go on top of this.

The kitchen had also arrived and had been put into storage until it’s needed, hopefully not too long!

Really pleased with progress this week, the concrete is now in and we’re ready to start the studwork.

The damp proof membrane is down and looks ready for the concrete. Outside, there has been more work done digging the foundations for the wall in the back garden. Loads more soil moved to the front ready for collection, c’mon, you know you want it!

We have an excess of soil! Anyone want 40 tonnes of soil?

Sand down and the DPM is on its way! Roll on concrete!

The front door step is back in place.

These slabs of stone are going to make great doorsteps or a hearth.

The garden is starting to take shape.
