Hebridean Blackhouse Thatching Project - Update 1

Week commencing 28th August 2017

To prepare for Neil’s visit we had to take all the old thatch and roofing structures off of the Blackhouse

We then replaced the purlins and cabers and add boards with strips for the new turves and thatch to be mounted on.
