The window in the old grinding room has been transformed into a doorway -french windows being installed, this week. |
All the old milling kit has been dismantled and removed - we're still looking for a home for the old wheels; not practical for a dining room, whichever way you look at it |
Tidied-up doorway looking from the ground floor guestroom, across the hallway and through the doorway into the salone |
And the same view, in the opposite direction |
Looking from the kitchen into and across the dining room |
Looking across the inner hallway, where the builders have made a new entrance into the cantina, and out into the ruin. |
New windows! (This one, in the main bedroom). |
And more new windows (top floor - the ones on the first floor and ground floor are currently being repaired, restored and painted) |
I'm midway through excavating the paved area in front of the ruined wing...old cobblestones, on a distinct slope, emerging from their tomb |
The rear of the building, looking surprisingly organised. |
A million (or so) new floorboards, delivered roadside, and waiting to be carried one-by-one indoors...backbreaking! |
