  • Have you any plans on how your doing the floor, damp proofing etc. We have a cowshed as well, it’s stone probably a few hundred years old and was a classic style Irish stone farm house until the 1940s when a new house went up and it was converted. It still has concrete stalls in it and it seems a bit of a waste to leave it slows decaying. Only photo on the phone is the back of the building- also no windows .

  • Probably similar construction to both our house and shed.

    For the house, we very carefully dug down a couple of foot (took us to the bottom of the foundation stones, slight scary!), then I think we did fairly typical approach of compacted scalings-->DPM-->6 inches concrete-->Barrier-->UFH pipes buried in 4 inches of screed.

  • Cheers, not too bad then, I reckon if you can get a heifer through our door a micro-digger will fit.
    I think ours will be something we do in the longer term, and something we’d have to get someone experienced to look at re new roof, wall loading etc.
