Update on small dreams: bigger reality.....

[simplepimple]

Thought I'd post an update along with grateful thanks to everyone who has given me advice particularly Ferdinand without whom I'd still be thinking small. (& a North facing garden instead of a South) ☀️☀️

 

Here we are some 20 days into the build ~ although I don't have a photo of the roof tiles on yet but I assure you they're on ~ along with the facia. Currently slightly delayed for the next week waiting for the brickies to return - we're up to window sill height so far. 

 

It's not looking so pretty right now but I'm already ?

 

Not sure I'd be here if it wasn't for the support of the buildhub community.  Thanks all.

Looking good.

This has actually made my week - especially as I am currently having a miserable couple of months.

 

As far as I am concerned the highest purposes / achievements of BH are 3 things:

 

1 - If someone has a more attractive, comfortable, better designed or otherwise more satisfying house to live in than would otherwise be the case.

2 - Ditto higher quality construction.

3 - Ditto more energy efficient.

4 - Ditto quality of decisions.

5 - Keeping more sane / balanced / thoughtful / less stressed throughout.

 

It really can make one plus one come to three.

 

Thanks @simplepimple. Such comments make what time we all put in in our various ways worthwhile imo.
