Day 188. April 5th - Laying the Underfloor Heating Pipes

Saturday morning and Mr Wickens was making great progress in the upper deck, laying reel upon reel of underfloor heating pipes. The heat will be generated by the Air Source Heat Pump outside. More of that another day....I'm still catching up on woefully delayed posts!

Looks like it's going to be a cosy hall

Hall - from inside out

U/floor heating pipes through hall to recording studio, bedroom and bathroom 2

Bathroom 2

But lo, who could this be asleep on the pipes? Goldilocks? I'd better go and check my porridge

Master Bedroom u/floor heating pipes

'They're looking hot hot hot'

Which one says 'ON'?

Great job, Mr Wickens. BarnGirl and Inspector Walt came up later to bring you a bag of cakes for your Saturday kindness. Sorry we missed you.

On to the next......

Day 173 - 181. March 21st - 29th - Seth Returns to Add Beautiful Oak Cladding

BarnGirl and a new look Inspector Walt wandered up to the barn looking forward to inspecting today's activity - the fitting of some of the oak window frames and the return of Captain Seth, to make a start on the oak feathered-weather boarding.

Inspector Walt sashayed on site, in his light weight Summer capsule collection, hoping for a thumbs up from the BarnBoys and Pup Brody.

BarnGirl was required to confirm 'window furniture', a trumped up term for the metal thingy which opens and closes the windows.  I believe the proper name is cockspur and risers, but that just sounds rude! 

North Elevation

West Elev

As if by magic, the scaffolding is removed.......

So pleased with the oak cladding going up on the West elev. Looks great with the oak window frames. BarnGirl won't be painting the barn with any dodgy black paint. It'll be left to mature naturally to a silvery grey. 


What a fine job, BarnBoys.
On to the next
