Well, things are really coming on now.  A meeting this afternoon with Dave and Cliff to talk about the new doors (the large barn ones) was good.  Cliff is going to make them as near to the old as possible.  In the meantime we are hoping to conclude the order for all the windows this week.  They will take approximately 8 weeks to manufacture - exciting times.  Still talking about the stairs and where to put them!!  Lots of ideas but still not completely sure.....  With the new roof almost in place the whole house begins to feel more like a home than a building site.  The scaffolding comes down from the front of the dining room tomorrow which will leave the gardeners free to go mad!
