Architect sent us an updated sketch today addressing the planners comments, so I sent that straight off to them. Didn't quite get the immediate response we got last time - hope no news is good news.
The architect also drew a section this time, which shows our fireplace and chimney plus the staircase and gallery. Looks great. Hope it gets approved.
We'll follow our usual Saturday routine and go to the barn tomorrow. Looks like it's gonna be a cold but nice day. Might chat to our farmhouse neighbour to see if we can chop down the tree that's against our east wall - before we decide whether to discuss his rogue fence.
We've also seen a site in the next village where they've demolished a house and crushed it all into hardcore, which could be handy for our access. Got the contractors phone number last week but (don't tell Misan) I've lost it! Will get it again tomorrow then call them to see if we can dispose of a few lorry loads for then at no cost.
And I've priced up the fencing materials ('cos we're gonna do it ourselves). Basic pig netting on round posts is much cheaper. A 3 rail fence would be a few hundred more. Anyway the paddock suits an agricultural fence - certainly not close boarded; at least that's what we're trying to convince the planners, having seen our cottage neighbour's intentions.

This is hopefully going to be a record of the progress on our new project - converting a derelict stone barn into our new home.
