Shaki's shots
Our daughter Shaki sent us about 60 photos after she'd visited the barn last weekend. The good thing was that she took some from different angles to what we're used to, including a few from across the road. The Barn looks pretty exposed to the world now that the overgrown hedgerow along the front wall has been removed, so I think one of our first jobs in July (although it's not the best time of year to do it) will be to plant a new hedge along the wall to give us back a bit of privacy.
We can also see from the interior shots that the first fix electrics and plumbing are well on. Seems like we have wires and pipes everywhere, which is understandable to some extent when you consider we have underfloor heating and also need a separate plumbing system to bring the harvested rainwater into the bathrooms to feed the cisterns. The understairs cupboard was meant to give us some much needed storage space, but it looks like it's come in handy as a hub for the control systems. Being green is not cheap at initial build stage, let's hope we get a payback on running costs.
There's also a nice little photo of the planters that we left at the barn because they couldn't go into storage - some lovely spring bulbs have flowered amongst all the builders rubble. Shows that spring has finally arrived in the village.
