well done, great to see so much progress -
This was just me wondering, no one is particularly right or wrong. Obviously, it depends on skills, time, money and attitude. We are doing it block by block as our budget is <200k for 240sqm barn conversion. This requires 2.4m underpinning and we couldn't even get anyone to quote on doing it. So, rollup your sleeves and get on. Hence we are doing it in phases, like building 5 mini houses until we get to roof level. I'm not sure what happens then though. One real advantage though is you've got time to make decisions and rectify any mistakes when they happen (we've made a few)

This doesn't seem to cover putting mortar on blocks etc, just planning it all.
-
Who is really doing it themselves, as in digging foundations, laying floors, laying blocks etc. etc. etc The only outsiders we have had are the pouring concrete suppliers. Every other thing is done by one man and his missus. It's very slow, hard work and sometimes not much fun. But, the satisfaction. I'm just wondering how many of us are on here as it seems most people are getting in teams.

would be good to see it

I've checked the schedule and I'm in a meeting from 9 - 5 on Thur so I don't want to do an evening meet yet.

I need to dig out the diary, will come back to you.

Building involves so much digging and disposing and filling and burying. So, lots of expense for something that will never be seen again. Makes me extra thankful for the farmer who very happily had all our spoil for his own particular holes in tracks. But, it's coming on well and now you get to go up and put something in place that you will get to see again. JIll
