Around the early part of this year, work started on the floors (and holes for the lifts)
I wasn’t doing all this myself and had Dave the builder in to do the big stuff.
Digging the hole
And filling it with concrete
And eventually shuttering to create the holes for the lift to go in
That’ll do for now. More later

Great start - looking forward to the story unfolding ...
The picture of the house that you posted some months ago looks lovely too.

Around the same time they started raising the leprechaun doorway
And widening it
And eventually put some support in. When we moved in there was a load of very old oak lying around - these were the timbers left over from the last time it was partially re-roofed
Dave the builder thought that a strut on one side was characterful. I agreed with him - for about 30 seconds

Not done yet. I’m bringing you up to date with the last year but I’m still working on it at the moment.

Concrete poured (in this half anyway)
And set nicely
Then it was on to the walls in that part - partly to clear space by using up some of the wood, insulation and ply that was cluttering the place up
