project "Parallel walls"

Behind our house is a garden, connected upwards by stairs. These bring you to our backback-garden, which is about 400 m².

Going up the stairs, there are 2 parallel walls directly to the left. This was an old farm building, of which the roof started collapsing in 2011 (visible on google earth satellite pics). The back corner seems to be partly build on the land next to us, which needs to be fixed when building a new wall.

We have no current plan for these walls, but using the loose stones for other projects.

In the future we would like to build a small castle like structure here. It could be used as bar or shed, but needs to have towers, battlements and walkways for the cats to guard it.

 

For now, we're mainly cleaning up. Judging from the amount of glass bottles, the building seems to have been used as a distillery for a while. Also the roof collapsed inwards, leaving a layer of rooftiles under the mud and grass.

We also used this spot as an outdoor shower, before we had a bathroom.
