Don’t tell them enough but I am ever so grateful for Charlie, Luke and Luca being team Artizans. Together we have repaired and improved this cabin in the woods. We have replaced the whole back wall which suffered the most in the fire, with lime render externally and a clay plaster internally.

Sharing a before photo here of a cabin damaged by fire,luckily saved by the fire brigade and a passing dog walker.
An Aga type stove had been placed against fire board which was screwed to timber and insulated in between. Perfect for a potential fire 😬
The board does not stop heat transfer.
Lucky for us we get to hang out to repair this lush cabin 😍

Peeling back the hand nailed laths and plaster has revealed the timber frame made almost 100 years ago.
Actual 4” x 2” studs jointed and pegged around the openings of windows and doors a true testimony to the carpenters that built this frame during such different times…
