Lodge Development

General view of original Lodge

The picture shows the general view of the Lodge in its original state. You can't really see the undulations in the roof in this picture, but the whole front roof was redone as part of the project.

What will become the kitchen

This became the kitchen.

 

What will become the bar

The bar needed more light!

The original entryway and shower

This was opened up to make the reception area.

Original Salon with low ceiling

We removed the ceiling in this old bzrn section and made a roomy salonrnin g the old animal feeding troughs into benches.

Lodge under the builders

The lodge was gutted, the doors and windows replaceded, a number of internal walls were demolished and new doorways made inside between rooms, as well as adding sliding doors from the dining room to a new terrace area at the back.

Squirting concrete

Once fitted with a new roof, the first floor material, of concrete mixed with little polystyrene balls, was squirted in through a window. Once dry, this lightweight floor will be covered with wood flooring.

Kitchen plasterboard

After the new roof ,windows and doors, the plasterboard interior walls could be fitted.

 

Insulation for under-floor

Then the insulation for the underfloor heating

Heating pipes

Then the underfloor heating pipes

 

Tiles

When the floor is ready, the tiles go down

Sairs

With the floor in and dry the custom-made stairs can go in...

 

Flooring

...which means that the flooring can be laid upstairs, and the final plumbing and decorating work completed.

Lodge finished

And after the terraces are down and the stonework repointed, we can begin to landscape the outside.
