Barn rebuild faced with drystone cladding

We've been facing up this barn rebuild in Oldham with drystone cladding. The original stone is being used to maintain the appearance and character it had all those years ago.

The old barn was pulled down because it was structurally unsafe. and I used some of the stone to build a big retaining wall earlier this year.

The rest is being used face the new barn.

The block work was done by other builders and the wall tie rails have been screwed in to the blocks to ensure it stays put.

We have just returned for another stint and the cladding on the barn is looking great in the morning sun, The shell is now fully built for us to attack over the coming weeks.
