Building a Nest
WELCOME TO THE NEST PROJECT PAGE
Here you can follow along with our exciting journey and see the beautiful Nest studio being built.
In the beginning there was a red brick garage.
The extension foundations are going in.
The roof is coming off so that we can rebuild it the other way. It will flow much prettier this way.
Walls and garage doors coming down.
Thinking time...
Crane time! The oak frame is ready to install.
Magnificent craftsmanship happening.
Working hard through the rain.
Ta da! Oak frame in courtesy of West Wind Oak Framing.
Stunning structure smelling sublime.
Monkey play going on of course.
I love my oak.
Roof rafters and insulation in.
Tiles top it off.
Inside panels and oak looking beautiful.
Lots of painting to do.
Lots of cups of tea.
We have windows and doors!
With beautiful handles.
Underfloor heating going down.
More insulation getting ready for cladding.
Such a rewarding process watching the chippies clad.
My roses in full bloom. Must be June.
Bricks mean the porch is coming up.
Porch foundations being laid.
Max laid his first brick ever. Big moment!
Bricks are complete and porch roof nearly.
Loo space in the porch.
Special moment. I found my door at Wells Reclamation Yard. A 250 year old Indian door.
Happy lady!
It's going here.
The portal is in.
View from the porch in to the Nest.
Riverside views over the fields.
Tongue and groove paneling fitted inside.
Pretty view from the daisies. It must be July.
Early morning tea and time to ponder.
