The roof is now finished!!! But while the scaffolding is up we’ve biten the bullet and asked the builders to re render the back of the cottage. The builders have now removed the cracked cement render reavealing the hodgepodge of stone and brick, all soaking wet as the old cement render wouldn’t let the wall breath. Unfortunately the stone and brickwork are in a sorry state and will have to be re rendered\u00a0but this time using \u00a0lime mortar.<\/p>\n

Colour charts are now being scoured so we can choose the colour of the final lime wash, it wont be pink. The cottage, unfortunately, didn\u2019t throw up any more surprises. The windows look like they\u2019ve always been in that configuration (we\u2019ve a reprint of a Victorian postcard that had shown possible discrepancies but it\u2019s obviously the quality of the light or print that\u2019s the problem).<\/p>\n

\"Mud<\/a>

Some fine stone work with original mud mortar, some altered for the window and door openings. Georgian? brick in-fills and 1st floor.<\/p><\/div>\n

There\u00a0a problem though with the window openings. The arches above the windows had\u00a0started to\u00a0collapsed causing some of the cracks in the render. As we\u2019re planning on keeping the openings straight,\u00a0we\u2019ve decided to put in concrete lintels. This is by far quicker than rebuilding an arch that\u2019s then going to be in filled and time is of the essence .<\/p>\n

\"Crumbling<\/a>

Window arch held together by the render, they couldn't be saved<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

\"Arch<\/a>

Both window arches replaced with Concrete lintels, a shame but practical<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And talking of time, we\u2019ve just been slapped with an \u00a380 bill from the Local Authority for the scaffold being up longer than\u00a0four weeks !!!<\/p>\n

Before it’s re-rendered the Outer Doorway needed repairing. I had already machined and new piece to replace one whole side to match the old profile, and with enough spare to scarf a piece on the other side. Some oak from the woods made a new cill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Door<\/a>

Outer door frame repaired with maching sections, one side fully replaced the other with a new piece scarfed in at the bottom and oak cill<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
