Thanks to everyone for your considerate replies, it's meant a lot to have this feedback. In the end things were taken out of my hands as construction was ceased, so waiting on seeing when that lifts, and if building supply chains are affected. I guess the awful thing is that prices will rocket accordingly.

Hello all you experts, After over 2 years of battling planning permission, we've finally got the OK on Friday to start on April 13th. Am I mad to consider starting at what will straddle the peak of the proposed infection rates. Its a 12-15 week build with a fair bit of internal changes. I honestly am awake at night worrying about everything. The only upside is that we are both very practical and could do a lot of cover in the absence of labourers or joiners (not plumbers or electricians though) if they needed to self isolate. Im just assuming that supply is going to be affected. Thoughts please lovely people. Kara

Near Falkirk, in the howling gales and snow!!!

Thanks for all your support chaps!

Hi everyone I'm about to start a Victorian semi extension which I'll be project managing amid full time work and two kids because I've not got quite enough funds to make this 2 year hell hole of planning rejection and setbacks before we've even started. Can't believe I've found you lot, a wealth of information and U-values advice!!!!! I'm absolutely terrified but sure I'll learn a lot along the way, including how to lay the 65sq metres of reclaimed parquet..... (OMG) Kara
