Great job. :thumbs: I subscribe to a magazine call Old House Journal. They feature stories on restorations such as this. It's nice to see one done so well by someone that is part of the "family".

Your building is amazing! I love stone-work! I was going to ask if I could stop by and see your Wheel Horse stable but just saw you are in England. Thank you for sharing. Good luck with everything!

oh, and the pit is now covered - but it will probably fill with 'stuff' over the years and be filled in...

it's been slow progress with cold wet weather here, I managed to have a go at spraying water based paint on the front doors. An interesting concept and the instructions say to thin it 5% water and then high pressure airless spraying at 4000 psi !!!

I stuck with the gravity hvlp gun and it hasn't done too bad, needs lots of coats though.

the upstairs is getting there so the kids are happy!

downstairs is just waiting for the electrics finishing...

and don't ask why there is an atv wheel in the shot :D

Wow dude you really have been busy, love the stone work :thumbs:

One thing though... Would the crib not be more suited to doing engine rebuilds, Wh parts storage, that sort of thing?? ;)

Is this the new wave in "Man Caves" ? This one even has the real rocks like I guess a real Man Cave should have! Very very nice! :)

Thanks Neil.

I've already got lots of tools! Wheeled tool chest and compressor have been in kitchen for 6 months :D there's 6 horses in the garden looking forward to a dry home too!

I'm currently building new workbenches and painting them a lovely wheel horse red! Misses thinks I'm bonkers....

I'm making a bit of progress - working 250 miles away from home isn't helping.

Made a reasonable start on the benches !
