This is my first self build ,it's in our garden,we started on the 1st December,as we all know we have had really bad weather. I treat it like a job as do others. Work 8.30 till 4.30 when not at work stop for crib and lunch and DON'T work weekends ( I work shifts) Due to the trades we are using sometimes ,there is no one here so I tidy up,order materials and put things in place so the paid trades have work to get on with. The biggest question I get asked is when will it be finished ,i say hopefully December this year but it's not a target it's finished when it's finished if not before Time off is the key, work live balance even on a self build And reading this forum
