Hey Ash,

how's the build coming along now.

Hey Fergal, latest is the timber part of the roof is done, little bit of block work being done at the minute then the roofers back to felt it tommorrow. Should be tiling next week.
I spent most of yesterday chasing out walls for the electrics. What a balls of a job that is.
Here is how she looks.

Feck its flying on!

Lovely Hurlin Ash. Looks great.

yeah have done (very small amounts of) chasing before and hated it. My sparrow arms weren't up to the task.

fair play to the builder for making so much progress in an unfavourable summer

[leamyj]

There's an offer no one can refuse - I expect Da Stig will be appointing you Executive - for the camping weekend and if Shadowearth decides to come along he can be your Sous - The rest of us can sit back and enjoy

[leamyj]

Didn't say I'd cook them to anyones liking though

Good lot of the roof tile up today, all the chasing is done inside and all the wires have been pulled and most fixed. Scratch coat on the chimney ready for plaster and chimney pot to be fitted prior to roof being finished.
Its just over 3 months since we dug out the site. Another 3 weeks and the windows and doors will be in. 4 months to get the place water tight is not bad going now.

Not updated this recently as been to busy with everything,
The roof is now finished

The windows are all in (glass been fitted today but no pic)

Glass & doors in the sitting room is in. (all windows are wood finished - they just have the plastic protecting coat on)
Outside

Inside looking out.


The outside is all scratch coated, and details around windows and corners finished, ready for finish coat.

A lot of the insulation work is done upstairs and plaster board is up.
For anyone who cares we have gone with 175mm fibreglass type insulation with 30mm foil reflective insulation over the top of it which is fully sealed.

Thanks for looking.

Great progress! In by Chrimbo?
The extra height glass over the doors is excellent.
