Old Doors, Rusty Rings and Ancient Timbers!


The exterior brick slips are to bonded to the exterior cladding of The Oast House and the shingle roofing is being added to the tower.

The Articulated truck arrived from Southern Ireland with the delivery we have all been very excited for. Some of the materials that were delivered included ancient timber for the bar top, timber planks to clad the walls and corrugated tin for the roof which was originally installed on a barn in Ireland in 1971.

Our most precious piece also arrived, a door we hand selected from an old reclaimed timber yard. We just love the crumbling, peeling paint and dints that tell a story.

The roof is on and the electricians have begun.

Paul Danson Imagineering roof contactors have been busy at work, the insulation is in and the roof has been lined with ash felt and battening ready for our antique corrugated tin to be laid on top. The York stone paving is almost laid for the alfresco dining area, and we think that it looks fantastic.
The plywood cladding has been applied to the internal steel frame in preparation for the aged timber to be installed. The upper feature gallery has been boarded and creating different voids within the space. The electricians are well on their way with the first fix electrics, installing all provisions for the light fittings along with the intelligent sound system.
