Barn removal

Disposing of the barn was always going to be one of the big jobs that we were in charge of. So after many weekends emptying it, we put it up for auction on ebay. And yesterday was the D-day – or “Dismantling Day”. Laura and Paul had come up from Cornwall the previous evening and so with help from their friend Paul, we spent the day dismantling it. Plus help from a very-well behaved puppy – Stan. ( Time-lapse movie in a later posting)

All gone!

And so we thought – getting the lorry out of the field gate which took 30 minutes on arrival only took 10 minutes, but then disaster the lorry got two wheels in the ditch. So many thanks to Kay and Sean who dropped every-thing, brought around their tractor and helped get the lorry out to the road.

And so to-day a chance to layout the house as it will be.
