Finally work has started on the roof of the barn!

We waited for a long time, but at last the contractor started his work at the barn last week (at 21st of September). We allready saw the first low-res pictures of work on the roof structure and the news beams… ai ai ai, the contractor had to replace more wood then expected.

The barn will get a small living space in it very soon. The contractor expects to be finished before Christmas. This living space will be the base camp for all further renovations. The contractor will make a dormitory for 10-12 people next to the living space. We will try to do further renovations on the house: slower, without a contractor for everything, and for less money.

For the Dutch readers; the contracter is the same Jaap Scholten is writing about in this NRC columns. So we could know what to expect.
