At High Close Youth Hostel, our joiner has made an oak gate to their main entrance being partly funded by the hostel itself.
Our builders at present are working at High Ground farm relining a chimney flue so the tenant can install his multi-fuel stove but we found that the stone work to the three chimney stacks is perished and so we will have to rebuild the stacks with fresh stone acquired from Burlington quarries.
The stone comes with sawn edges so we have to dress the stone to make them look more in keeping with the age of the property - a labourious task.
The stack, with two flues, is beginning to take shape. When we have completed this one, we move onto Slack Cottage at Wray to reline and fit a multi-fuel stove for the tenants.
