Flame on!

So the heating's working and seems to do the job, though the layout of some of the zones seems to have been done to suit the plumbers rather than us.

Q**** the project manager turned up yesterday. Various suggestions were made, one of which is to get the beer garden done as soon as possible. Because listing applies to the entire site rather than specific buildings we need listed building consent to remove the boiler shed, so we may have to leave it for the moment.

The rest of the short to medium term plans involve creating the new bedroom out of the old owners' accommodation. This is a difficult site and will probably involve re-laying the stairs to meet fire regulations. Once that's done we can move in there and create a family room and a double room (with ensuites) from the four rooms we're in just now.
