The New Roof

These were the last swallows to be hatched inside Whitelees Cottage. I sure hope they find a good spot near by for next year.

Then after all of that, we had our first delivery of building materials . . . For us, this was very exciting.

The new roof was put on the cottages.

Then our Kevin put on the chimney. He's so talented! The stone being used on the chimney is all reclaimed from the fireplaces that were removed from down below.

The new slates are going on. Actually, they are USED Welsh slates, much more expensive than new, but they'll be in keeping with the cottage (circa 1835).

Putting slates onto the shed. This will be the toolshed. This room has had a number of uses. It was used to house goats, my chickens and now, tools, bikes and lawnmowers.

New windows were also added. See the piles of stone that were removed from the walls?

The joiner putting up the roof trusses in the rain. Poor guy.

Next is getting the slates onto the new build . . .
