This blog is called ‘In the Workshop’ so we thought we’d post a few photos of how the workshop used to look, and Doug working on it before the finished building.

As you can see, it was in a pretty sorry state when Julian suggested we convert his old milking parlour into the workshop and shoot room.  It hadn’t been used for 17 years, and still had the old milking equipment in it.

With such an old building, there were bound to be problems once we started the works.  Perhaps the biggest surprise was taking the roof off the front and discovering it was holding the wall up at first floor level!  A few concrete blocks, and it was as good as new.  Well, apart from the pretty hefty steel beam which you can see Doug sitting on …

Now it’s all finished, we’re delighted with the result.
