This will be the shower soon.

The doors to the Kitchen and the main bedroom. We are told it used to be one room that has been subsequently made into two.

everything but.

Next to the originals...

The newly made doors have arrived (and been fitted - obviously).

Well, that seems to be the oven in place. We are getting there!

We got the architect to redesign the barn, as the previous designs were just too damn expensive. We think this design works quite well, leaving an extra space to make into a flat at a later date (in the pig sheds) if we can ever afford it.
We need to make the kitchen bigger though, and also move the James Bond fireplace out of the center of the room.

Kitchen's getting there - Feb '05.

Bathroom under way in the cottage.

Still not quite the fully fitted kitchen, but hopefully somewhere to put the cooker..

We have doorways to the new bathroom and the third bedroom. All we need now is doors!

The barn is still standing a year after we found the place. Jan '05.
