Went to view this place on Thursday night , absolutely lovely stone walls , customer is after beefing up insulation of the place they have carefully chipped away at two rooms to get the crap plaster off , love the look as it is tbh and told them insulate the ceiling then leave the rest as it would look gorgeous with a nice floor down and some logs burning on a grate in fires

This was the most interesting to me to the left of the main fire looks like they had an additional use for the heat anyone know what originally that would of been used for ? It’s been filled with more stone since built but can see the lintel and there’s a like a flue in left of the main fire to it

Do loads older than that on a daily basis so why you showing off!, if you turned up with stormtrooper pants on I would think you was from the future! Walk on doors locked there’s no room at the inn my friend!

funny about hinges, but its not the hinges more the position on the frame.
your jobs should have had 30mm width full length packers to both sides.
