And then the Wall was Finished

The wall is rebuilt!! 5 metres high, 13 metres long and somewhere in the region of a metre thick at the base, tapering to 600mm at the top. We were given an old photo which showed a balcony, and recovered an old beam from the rubble during the cleanup.  We used this beam as our template to carve 4 new larch beams which we built into the wall as we went. 

 A "temporary" (now in it's eighth year) roof was put on by Kevin, Ted and I in October 2002. Kevin camped in the field whilst Ted and I pitched tent in the main barn.
