Look at this lovely floor! It's made such a huge difference seeing the first big piece of our 3D puzzle being installed.

Prep work for the floor and walls is underway, making sure this will be a strong, dry and comfortable space year round.

Now we're really starting to get a feel for the scale of the site, and the enormous potential we have here!

Those of you who have happened by might have seen that our yard has transitioned from a "big pile of mess" to "various separate piles of mess" thanks to our lovely team of helpers.

We've now sorted out the timber for keeping, the timber and rubble for recycling, the green waste for the planters, and the nice stones for a future rockery.

We're saving everything we can here - if it can have a future life on the site then we'll make sure that happens.

The roof's come off! Which means that the site is no longer a hazard (well, not too much anyway). Now we can really see the condition of the full site, and finalise plans for the development.

Next jobs will be underpinning the back wall, tanking, and laying the new internal floor. We're also going to keep clearing the yard, and are going to build some massive planters to make use of all the soil and green waste on site. We never want to dump what can be used again :)

Well, the site is now (mostly) accessible! Thank you so much to the volunteers who came down to help us fill the skip, clear the brambles, and generally get this project kicked off.

It was kinda like an archeological dig at times, but now we can see what we have, and start to assess the condition of the site and make plans accordingly. No major nasty surprises I'm happy to say, although taming the wildlife took some doing!

Next job will be taking down the old roof. Watch this space!
