John, with digger



Today John and Gillian arrived with a small digger. It was time to break up and remove all the concrete around one part of The Cowshed. This area was a nightmare - uneven concrete surfaces, concrete drains.... this was a chance to rectify this, level out the area, and form what will be the wheelchair access into the building.

A large deck will be built in this area, with a ramp running along side the pump room and former tack shed.

Everyone pitched in to help remove the concrete - Diane, Emma-Leigh and Sarah, along with Gillian all helped out. What will we do with the broken concrete and large mound of topsoil. Watch this space!!!

December 4, 2015








A fairly slow week at The Cowshed this week - but the long awaited steel work finally arrived today!

The pump Room and Tack Shed walls were removed and the new framing has started to go in.....

The big steel portal was put into place, and the existing railway irons were tied to it. A view of the interior from the kitchen - timber bracing holding things in place until the roof framework and wall framing is complete.
