Real work has started

Last week we received the building consent. At the end it wasn't to difficult - no issues with either straw or plaster, but it did take longer than necessary. The comprehensive set of drawings and supporting documentation will have helped getting it through council.
Three days of good weather allowed the contractors harvesting the barley and making the bales. Baling was finished Sunday and we got a call the same night that the bales were arriving on Monday morning. That created a bit of a flurry of activity and we took a day of work to make sure everything worked out well.
At the end, we needed that day of work because 1,100 bales needed more space than estimated. All of the haybarn was used and also our two bay garage. The contractor stacked the bales for us. Colton Bros Ltd from Martinborough provided the bales and transport and stacking of bales was done by Garrity Bros from Martinborough.
