Challenge Complete!!, we sold most of our land and Farm House! Enabling us to concentrate on Purl Design LLP - Sustainable Architecture and allow our guests to enjoy the peaceful retreat here at The Mill Cottages in either of our one bed cottages, along with our resident pets, ponies, chickens, goats, cats and dogs! We have spent the last year renovating the 400 year old mill for us to live in, completed late 2012 and love every minute!!!... We are looking forward to another successful year.

WHAT A WEEK
After only having the base plates in last Monday we have had to move quick, the carcass of the office needs to be up in five days, so working by flood light most evenings and having the cars lined up to give us extra light. The rain hasn't helped and its been one headache after another, we have felted the roof three times now, the bad weather took it clean off the first time, the next time we covered it with a tarpaulin and when we tried to get the thing off, the water was stuck in it, and its such a large roof it was difficult to move so Ant and Pete got on the roof to try to save the felt again, but it just went right through the lot at the last minute, ruining the felt yet again, so tonight we have been out there trying to felt and hard sheet at the same time, we have got three sheets on, so that's a start, but it got too dark and on a slippery roof it was just too dangerous to keep going for Andy up there. It been a real hard week, wouldn't like to do it again that's for sure. I usually say its an adventure, but this one has been soul destroying at times! and I am dizzy a lot and not feeling great so that doesn't help, I just get angry with myself!! So I am really looking forward to getting the Pvs on and then fitting out the office and then we can slow down a bit the pressure to finish will be reduced which will be a welcome break. These photos were taken on Wednesday last week and by Sunday night we had the full carcass up, made from scratch!!
