Jun took the following shots during his visit this weekend. Basically the two most northerly rooms were stripped of the ceiling. We may consider using them as bedrooms, however, we haven't moved to the interior design yet.
Tomo and Peter did an excellent Job at knocking out the ceiling in those two rooms. They consisted of light boards, that were partly damaged from a previous (and now fixed) water leak from the roof. According to Peter:"...This was very dirty work as the ceilings are filled with dirt, wood, bees, rat poison etc. I definitely recommend you wear protective clothing including gloves and goggles and be very careful of overhead falling debris - including large blocks of wood which can be quite dangerous (if you have one a hard hat would not go astray...)..."
Surely the debris on the floor attests to this statement and makes their achievement even more valued!
This is a closeup on the roof under belly. These rooms are actually contained in an widened extension to the main building. Clearly we must find some space to insulate the ceiling to make it nice and cozy, however, we will keep the sloping ceiling to give more height, and allow viewing of the beautiful wooden beams.
Here you can see a closeup from the other side. Note the original building's mud/hay wall that shines through on the right! It would be nice if we could keep it visible somehow...
