Stone Walls

As part of the planning permission, 2 of the walls had to be faced in stone.

Unfortunately, these two walls only face the rear garden and for all the extra expense involved, cannot be seen from the road.

It was suggested that we use Swansea stone to match that used on nearby houses but, our builder was keen to use stone from Middle Mill Quarry which is just down the road and has been used on several projects close to our plot.

Initially, PCNPA wern't happy about using the local stone and asked us to build a 1 metre section for them to look at. Someone made a site visit at the end of last week to have a look and take several photos. We received a verdict a few hours later - they were happy and we could continue!



The majority of the walls are now up to full height and within the next day or so, the joists will be fitted and the roof construction will start.

The roof is being constructed on-site rather than buying in trusses.
The timber has already been delivered - there seems to be enough to construct a whole street of houses!
