Siberian summer

It's bright and sunny in Jed, but the temperature is in single figures. That didn't stop the blacksmiths yesterday and the steelwork is now finished.



There will be some big double doors between the two nearest posts. The joiners are going to start next Wednesday with a small team concentrating mainly on bedroom 5. The following week the reinstatement of the function room, old lounge bar and upstairs kitchen will start in earnest,

Meanwhile, we've been looking at colour charts and trying to decide what colour to paint the bar. We've decide to paint only the top half of the walls and leave the rest wood coloured. The colour we've decided on is called "buttermilk" and is... well, sort of buttermilk coloured.

Some nice new lights for the back bar have arrived and they will allow us to use low energy spotlights there.
