More demolition before construction.

This is the 19th Century house before we demolished it. Unfortunately for us it had served its useful life. 

We saved all the hand hewn beams to use as rafter ties, not much else was salvageable.

 This photo and the one below show the state of the foundation. What looks like loose soil on top was actually what was between the stones. There were many snake skins and lots of ivy climbing in there!


And presto a newly framed "19th century" house. Amazing!

 Looking good,

Donut approves of the view from the kitchen.
