New land owner. Weed Id..

It’s hard to tell but I’ve repointed from the left side of lintel over fire leftwards to the door, above the lintel and across to right haven’t been touched yet repointing wise. I’ve managed to match the colour etc not too far off and also kept the pointing raked back slightly to keep the defined edges of the stone on show. The stone was actually quarried from a small quarry at end of field. Not sure on stone but seems very flint like. I’m more used to working on sandstone buildings  20 miles from here in Glasgow.

Despite being really old the building isn’t listed at all.

Looking good, I am nearly done with mine but never found anything good like that under the plaster.

Sounds like a gem. And as for your pointing.... master! [emoji108] looks really well Mark. My retirement aim is a small old remote property in Scottish highlands with a bit of land and outbuildings for tinkering in. Bit to go yet, only 38 🤣 one must have dreams though eh!!!

Cheers again, got to plan and aim for that for definite! I’m 31 and will end up forced to retire due to being worn out by time this is done no doubt !! The thought of going to work some days after working at night is a killer!

Sort of. I have been living in a static for the last two and a half years, winter weather can be a bit bleak but I actually quite like it. 

I know it sounds stupid but I am quite happy in my £3k trailer and my house is going to be worth well over £500k. Come the light nights and I won't be indoors anyway.

Couldn’t agree more about living arrangements.. I’d happily rough it out here for as long as need be!
