Little Side Project

I am now officially on vacation from work. As usual, I will be spending the bulk of my time off completing renovations around the house. 

The outbuilding in the photo above has two distinct parts. The smaller part, which resembles an outhouse, is actually a miniature smokehouse in which the previous owner smoked and cured meat and sausages. The larger part served as a sort of workshop. Over the past five years, I have used this building primarily as a shed to store bicycles, tires, gardening tools, etc. As the photo shows, the building is a bit run down, but its structure is quite solid. 

My overall plan is to raise the walls a little higher, cap building with a brand new roof, and then freshen up the exterior with a fresh coat of render. I removed the clay tiles and beams today. Tomorrow, I'll start laying bricks. If all goes well, I should have the roof up by the weekend or sooner.
