I have erected Cecil...

Rendering and all cladding completed.  Couple coats of paint on the render and we'll probably give it another towards the end of the summer when we hopefully finish the build. 

 

Also Cecil the Lion is in place, this stone lion head is on every house that my family (my Grandad, Dad and now me) has self built, 4 in this town currently, 3 of which are still owned by the family.  The story of how this tradition began is a little lacking in detail, but I did enjoy placing it 50+ years after my Grandad did the very same thing just a mile or so up the road.

    Looking brilliant! The Marley board really suits the house - and will never need maintained and stay that colour for years :) Good work!

    We're so happy with the Cedral, particularly with the white render now in place it really makes it "pop". It's amazing how different the colours of the cladding can look in different weathers / lights. 

     

    The pure brilliant white may have been an error, it's been a bit squinty on site in the past few days of sunshine.

    Looking great and fantastic record for self-build by your family and continual ownership over a long period of time. Would make an interesting case study to show the benefits of self-build for keeping family units together over the generations.
