Barn works resume

Now the winter is coming to an end works on the barn resume. The solar panels will be installed at the end of April so I ll need to hire a digger, and dig a trench the lay the connecting cables to the house, as well as the sewage and water pipes. The main electrical earth also needs to be replaced. Before that, I ve find shed the pointing downstairs and started the job I ve least been looking forward to, creating a new door through the 70 cm thick wall. The walls are built of mud and rock, no mortar so they are incredibly unstable once you start mining through them. The ground outside the barn hasn't been cleared yet, which at least makes access to the door head easier as it's about 18 inches above ground level. Some of the rocks are enormous, so it's just as well! I managed to needle through and install two lintols. Once the ground is removed (June) I can lower the opening to ground level. With so many huge rocks it's going to be difficult try and create two vertical door jambs.
