Feeling a bit tired for today.
Not a bad tired but it does catch up on you after a while. Busy days, busy mornings, busy life and that is without me doing a lot of physical labor every day now as we push ahead with the renovation job.
It's good to be back up on my feet again and working hard but you do lose a bit of work fitness when you take some time off. This is only for a few weeks to fill a gap but i'm enjoying the variety of the work and learning a lot of new skills for myself in life.
We have literally knocked the place this week.
Floors have been torn up and ceilings have been knocked down.
We have torn the guts out of this old building and are finally starting to see the bones beneath all of the different pieces of work and patch jobs added to the structure over 140 years.
It's not a pretty sight.
It is an amazing piece of history though and a once off chance to be part of something special. We have had a few of the older locals come in for a look at the progress and there has been some interesting stories about the history and stories behind the building.
To think that not so long ago it used to be only one of three places in the village that you could contact from outside the country. Or a shop that was served from the homeowner behind the counter from the side entrance.
Even finding coins from fifty years ago that no longer exist of the hidden safe that we uncovered under the old stairs.
It's a good busy.
