Building a "stealth bungalow"

[adam2]

Work is now completed.
The staff mess room and and related facilities are in regular use and the improved working conditions have been helpful in attracting and retaining staff. In cold weather the heated mess room was used as intended.
In the recent warmer weather, farm staff have used the workshop as a mess room which was not the intent. The large roller shutter door admits plenty of fresh air and gives a good view.

The store rooms contain all manner of supplies.

Update time.
The staff welfare facilities have been most useful. As reported elsewhere, many migrant farm workers have returned home to Eastern Europe in the last couple of years, and those that have remained in the UK are in a position to demand better working conditions.

The staff kitchen and rest room has only been significantly used in very cold weather. In milder conditions the workshop is favoured as a rest room due to the large roller shutter admitting ample fresh air, natural light, and giving a good view.
The forge is used for cooking hot snacks, which was not the intended use. The two younger workers called it an "indoor barbecue" and were most interested to hear of the metal working possibilities. The older Polish woman said that cooking on a forge was normal in factories or workshops back home.

Not very green, but anthracite beans are probably cheaper than LPG or Electricity that would otherwise be used for cooking.

P.S. two newer eastern European farm workers had observed the size and stupidity of seagulls and wanted to know "Why do English people not catch and eat them. There must be lots of meat on such large birds"
Having shot, and cooked a seagull, they now know why we do not eat them !
