The cleared house site with Cuillin Hills in the background - February 2004

Work on the underbuilding in progress

Moving the timber frame panels in to place ready to be erected.  Morning of 27th March.

Lunch time on 27th March. 

All external and load bearing panels now in place.  27th March 2004 - a good day's work.

View of the kitchen and living room, complete with partially built chimney.

Roof trusses being craned into place.

Roof trusses being craned into place.

Roof trusses now in place ready for roof hips to be formed.  No building site is complete without a battered old white Ford Transit Van.

Front of house.  External blockwork under way. 

The block work is now well under way on this typically beautiful Skye day!

This areal view shows the large roof area of the house which is now ready for the slates.

The house is now complete and Graham and Claire have moved in, just in time to enjoy a genuine "White Christmas".

This photo shows the front elevation.  This is an elevated site so photos of the front tend to cut off the lowest part of the house.  That means that nothing spoils the views.

....and what  fantastic views thay have.  Usually we'd be looking at the Cuillins here but the clouds didn't want to let them go today.  Sadly most of the trees in the picture were lost in the huge storm we had in January.
