Again an update from the build site at Skinidin. The outside works are nearing completion and soon the work on the inside will be starting. For now, the builders are still busy completing the slating and the block work. Although the roadworks for water and electricity have been done, the actual connection to the water mains has yet to be done.
On the north-west side of the house: A part of the scaffolds for slating are in place. Slating will not progress much these days as the slater is now enjoying his well-earned holiday. The little windows in the rightmost front wall, is the window for the en-suite bathroom in one of the bedrooms.
On the west side of the house: With the north-south running extension with master bedroom and bathroom. The cills have been put into place and give the windows a finished look. The cills were bought directly from James MacQueen. These cills give the house the specific “Highland” finish.
On the backside of the house: Here remains a little block work to be done as well, just over the windows of the master bedroom. Also on this side the cills have been put into place.
On the east side of the house: The only real chimney clearly visible (others are dummies), finished and ready for rendering. I think this image clearly shows how nice the house blends with the plot. The slightly lowered sitting room makes the house “flow” with the ridges in the plot.
