This blog has been set up to record the restoration of Ashgrove, which was devastated by fire in August 2007.
Please add comments of encouragement (or even suggestions for the colour of the walls, carpets, tiles, furniture....!!)

Steel girders arrive

I am attaching one or two shots taken at Ashgrove the other day by Celia.

The steel girders on the terrace are scheduled to be installed above the bay area early next week when the acroprops have arrived. Andy is apprehensive about the brickwork above, but we are keeping our fingers tightly crossed that there will be no complications.

The smaller girder has already been installed successfully in the chimney breast to provide more space for the cooker and kitchen units.

Work elsewhere is proceeding apace (e.g in the bathroom) - and Celia is managing to keep the garden in shape as the shot of the large lawn shows.

Can you remember where the huge Cherry Tree was before it was felled? The stump of it is just visible below the right-hand Conifer. It was a pity that it had to go but we have not missed it.
