The sand blaster is here..

As work on the rafters draws to a close and the bickwork is almost finished, the sand blasters have come in to remove the white wash from the remaining old farm shop walls. 

It is strange to think that the old farm shop will never look the same again. The white wash walls at Fordhall have been part of the farms character and appearance for many, many years. But all of this will now disappear. The sand blaster, dressed like an astronaut or someone dealing with radioactive waste (!) is busy blasting the walls with tiny fragments of sand that dislodge the lime wash from the walls, revealing the lovely red bricks behind.

Its a messy job and a slow job, but the difference is fantastic.
