Pointing of the Front ended






The lovely lad, full of many pints of tea, has completed the pointing of the front of the house. As he has done it very well, G has decided that the north side should be re-done too. So in about 4 weeks, scaffolding will appear there and it will be returned to the state that was intended by the builders in the 16th century.




The West gable has these pretty windows. The upper was added in the 1960's but the date of the lower is any one's guess - inserted into a wall 3 foot thick. The whole gable needs repointing but the bit the wee lad has done was the worst. The colour of the pointing will change as it dries. It was only done today.
