Finally started some proper work after sorting all the ownership & planning issues.
All the roof strcture has now gone and years of Bull poo which was filling my bedroom has been removed - floor level set and building notice now in so ready to get started with the foundations.
Over the past few months I have been bartering my web design services with plumbers, electricians, decorators and general builders, hopefully keeping my costs down - just need a company that will do me the oak frame at the right price!
Will try to take my camera next time I go to site.

First Sod.

First hole dug on site to expose what foundations might be present in and around the barn.

Looking OK, hopfully I'll finally be able to get underway with the groundworks fairly shortly.
