Just saying hello,
About 18 months ago the builder turned up to start work on our home. We have NEVER done any kind of renovation/extension work before, so naively thought it’ll be easy to add on/extend a dormer bed room :).
A well, unstable existing foundations, complex steel installs, chasing HETAS certified installers for the flue etc etc, and we are now have the finish line in sights 😀.
Still have some decision to make on garden wall finishes etc, but we are nearly there. Pretty sure we could have done lots of things differently etc, though I’ve actually enjoyed the process, and feel really lucky to have been able to build a home bespoke to our needs. I’m looking forwards to doing the same thing again, but for retirement some time around 2050!!
