A House , A Hoover and Hello Girls !

A HOUSE

Almost wind and water-tight. Our building site is now a HOUSE !!!!
 Fred & Steve have achieved so much in the last weeks. Slates on next.








We've been very hampered by the weather at the moment, mainly the wind which has rarely been a gentle breeze of late. Without a safety harness (!) health and safety has to come first when clambering around on a wet roof in a force 9 gale. So Fred & Steve have been busy with some internal jobs,

Remember this photo from a couple of months back ? This will be our living room ..,




Here it is now .... just waiting for the concrete floor to be laid



Internal walls of the old house now rendered and ready for the Foamglas insulation (the glass bubbles!)

A couple of other internal shots - this our bedroom


Photo taken in the hall area - window on left looking out onto Alans Wall and the Lamby Shed, stairs will start just next to the window



A HOOVER


Words fail me .... other than "a womans work is never done"  =) !!!!




HELLO GIRLS !!!!

 Rambo welcomes our new arrivals . Considering he's a vasectomised ram, he was MIGHTY interested in the Shetland ewe lambs that we picked up yesterday. Very, welcoming !!





6 gorgeous ewe lambs. This years lambs, so they won't be tupped (mated) until this time next year. The Shetland breed have 13 different colour markings and we've decided our Shetland flock will be a mixture of Moorits (all black) and coloured.


Sheep settled out up on Grind croft , Digger keeping an eye on them ...





More arrivals next week, some breeding ewes from Hascosay hopefully

Watch this space !
