The FC Building Surveyor has now visited - sneaked past me and Mark the FC Warden to do their own thing - and the news is slightly better. The stonework is mainly OK apart from the tops of both gables which need rebuilding, while the roof need some replacement timbers but would be better to be rebuilt completely. The FC might provide timbers for this, and the slates probably could largely be reused.
The FC Land Agent is getting a couple of quotes, so when these are available, we can assess the funding options. I suspect it's most likely going to be a mix of donations and grant applications. Juggling these might be problematic, I suppose we keep going til we reach the target!
I'm also tryig to see if there's anything volunteers could do such as clear the ground around to allow the scaffolding to be put up.
Hopefully more news fairly soon
