Burning stuff and other clearing out

We have been stacking up wood to be burned for a while and the weather hasn't really been suitable.
We needed to get the 'bread oven room', which is part of what is under the new roof, cleared out so we can insulate the underside of the roof and add the facing. It will also make it possible for the roofer to take down the old beams in there.
 This picture makes it look less chock with junk than it really is. This was all here when we moved in. It mainly looks like bits of the old roof from the main house. We burnt these, but saved bigger bits of wood from the roof we have just replaced - to burn in the wood burning stove.
We also saved some bits of metal work from and old door which we hope to reuse at some point.
What a lovely little room (for bikes, skis etc) it is going to be! Dog is astonished. We need to do something about the chimney surround which is held up by a dodgy tree trunk (behind the wire in the foreground - just to right of center) and has had some other problems too. We think we will demolish it (the rectangular shape above the entry to the oven).
This is the bread oven - which is through the little hole in the previous picture. Cool huh. We will see one day if it still works! Bit of junk in there too.

The bunnies snoozed throughout.
