HLF visit


All the many different Heritage Lottery Funded projects from around the UK came together in Wyre to see what the Grow With Wyre landscape partnership is achieving.
On their field visit they passed by the pigs to see the work they are doing clearing the bracken.

The rafters are up!



This is a view on the first floor looking to the south east with all the rafters in place. During this project I've had to learn a whole new vocabulary - so these are rafters and the horizontal beams they sit on are purlins. The one at the apex is known as the ridge purlin.

Next on will be sheets of birch plywood.
