| When we first
arrived at Derryleagh we had a thousand plans and
one of the most difficult problems was knowing
where to start. Luckily enough jobs seemed to
prioritise themselves and we soon got things in
order.
Poly Tunnel
- Not started
The biggest issue in ,my mind when buying the
house was how exposed to water issues and damp it
was. I thought I could do something about that
and so that was obviously a top priority when we
purchased.
Windmills
- Not started
Much of the land was overgrown, all of the
mountainside behind the house was out of control,
and the land in the front of the house was a mass
of brambles,
Renewables
In use - Not started
The house had been fully rendered and yet never
painted, the render was full of moss and other
plant growth. The first stage was to bleach the
house, we did this with hand sprayers full of
dilute bleach.
Replace
windows - Complete
Re-roof
& make good shed - Complete
Pave the
front - On going
Insultate
the roof - Not started
There will be lots
of other smaller jobs of course, but of little
interest.
