Brrrr, Its really turned autumnal out there. The cladding to the main space is complete and now the openings are sealed against what we call ‘The weather’, a catch all phrase for gales, storms, hail, snow and rain.
The industrial tin ceiling is in place bar a bit of trimming, and the windows and doors (gulp and take out a small mortgage) are on order with a 9-12 week lead time.
As we hurtle towards winter the studio is now a recognisable building, not just a huge layer of gravel concrete and block work.
Thanks to Covid and supply chain meltdowns, the gift that keeps on giving, we have seen raw materials rocket in price. Any budget that we might have imagined is just a distant memory.
We stand back and look at the build taking shape, and feel poor but chuffed.
Views to the valley we have never had before the build

The larch cladding appears and so does a real feel of how the finished building will look
