Its looking very likely that in the near future I'm going to win a contract to restore this lovely old timber framed building for a local built and agricultural heritage museum.
The building was initially built in the mid 19th century to house boilers for a laundry in an asylum in Watford. It was then repurposed to be an apple and soft fruit store.
I'm really looking forward to it, the first step will be to number and catalogue every single part, see what can be repaired and what needs to be replaced. Should be a lot of fun but there is a lot of rot in the frame a lot of which will need to be replaced, so I'll be brushing up on my traditional joinery skills.
