First they took down the old barn.

The Darou-McPherson farmhouse is being dismantled. Hubby had noticed they'd begun taking the farmhouse apart. Photos are required!
They have had some issues, as swallows (an endangered, protected species) had moved into the summer kitchen, while council decided what to do about the building. It's a long process.
Here are my previous posts:

Hubby took these for me! It must be cold work today. The wind is blowing and it is cold.

I had my client in the afternoon, since our furnace died, I'm keeping the home fires burning. Hubby went into town to take photos for me. All the stones are marked!

Wool! That is a huge job. I’m glad they’re saving it though.
It was a neat little building.

I love how you document history in action! YAM xx
Looks like a big difficult job. - Margy
another piece of history, and a new home, that is such good news. I always like to think that when a home, barn or shed is so old, it can be rebuilt again.
Yes, that design is quite common hereabouts.
