As the weather started to improve over April, we were able to start to move on to some of the outside work.
So this mainly involved opening up the hole that the house sits in around the lower floor so we can have patio area by the bedroom windows. And enough space to build the supporting walls for the earth behind.
We have also finished fitting all the plasterboard and had plasters in too.
A friend came up and helped with the block work. This will support the stone walling which will be the final finish on the lower section of the house.
One of the 3 radiators has been fitted, two more towel rails will go in the bathrooms at a later point.
At the end of month we rented a stone splitter and digger so we could start working the stone. The splitter is a massive guillotine which shears the rock in half leaving it with a fresh clean face.
So all in all a busy month again.
