"I have discovered the secret of happiness - it is work, either with the hands or the head. The moment I have something to do, the draughts are open and my chimney draws, and I am happy. John Burroughs"

One of the most satisfying things about this project is when you come across an unexpected problem. When all the doors, furniture and general detritus were removed from the kitchen one such problem became apparent.


A previous attempt to reconstruct a support for this massive stone lintel in the kitchen hearth seemed to be missing something


and turned out to be not the strongest - a gentle push with one hand reduced it to this!!! Over the next couple of days 




a stone support was put in place; ready for framing and insulating.
