Tidy tidy job Ramius...what's going above/in the apex of the dormers. What's the chance you can have a bit of art work in there... Submarine... Family crest... Initials... Year of bulid is traditional

I may be coming in late to the blog - but I love the look of the place, especially the stonework! I want that house! At least I know where to come when/if eventually find my piece of land. ? I'm just going to copy yours.....

I know how you are feeling @Christine Walker. I was pi55ed off to the back teeth with the build as once we physically moved in the motivation for hubby to get on and finish things seemed to wane and everything took forever. That was annoying but it would have been finished eventually, but then he got f***ing cancer that was the shittiest thing to happen ever and not only did it take his life it changed mine forever too. From the point of his diagnosis onwards it was pretty much down to me to sort everything in areas I didn't understand, with trades that let me down or ripped me off, in a self build that I had never wanted to take on in the first place. Somehow, just somehow you brush yourself off and get on with it, and as things start moving again nothing seems as bleak as it does during those low points. Resilience, strength and determination are your friends. There are people and processes, and sometimes just bad luck that will try to derail you and knock you off track but you will get through this I know because you have shown strength and resilience already to get this far. It might not seem better today or even next week but things will get better and you will put this behind you and move on (and in!).

Thanks, Peter. Plenty of hard work to come but getting inside feels like a real milestone to pass. The panels are LG and the trays are GSE.
