Friday 22 August

The original bread oven, which the new post and beam structure has been built around was the culprit of the fire back in May.
Here you see a new brick chimney protruding through the roof, now fully insulated. The horizontal cement patch work was where the oven burst due to the intense heat being doused by the fire fighter's hose, all patched up and as good as new.

Tuesday 26 August

Extractor hood installed in the kitchen, so powerful, that it will suck the lids of the pots!
