March 22, 20206 yr Moved in today - not quite finished but not bad for a start date of 8 Jan. Time to put my feet up. ? @Ferdinand - the sun & light is beautiful. Thank you.
March 22, 20206 yr Superb. Glad to hear it. Photos ? However, I will be in social isolation, so I can’t come and see it ?.
March 22, 20206 yr Author Photos as requested - I'll do outside at some point even though it looks more like a car park than a garden. Painting still to be completed & carpeting. No fence as yet either so I feel a bit goldfishy... but I'm here which is the main thing. Was a little worried we might get locked down before I could lock myself in! Bear in mind I had budget constraints - so for example - was unable to tile the whole shower room. Some minor glitches like getting the dishwasher door on, squeezing the fridge/freezer in (all my wrong doing) & not realising I did actually have room for 80cm high wall units. I guess this is why people want to do another one!

March 22, 20206 yr Author It was this year - and the builders didn't work every day either - a few hold ups along the way - probably 42 days in total for the actual build - had to wait for kitchen delivery but it is timber frame so thats quicker. Buying the plot took 12 months though!

March 22, 20206 yr Author I think there was a certain amount of luck - but also a lot of pre planning so that services we coming to site at the right time etc. On a separate note I spoke to RIBA about my architect causing the problem with the window - they were very supportive so am hoping I can claim for the cost of retrospective planning for the window he omitted to put on the original plan.

March 23, 20206 yr Delighted to see the generous shower size. These are worth their weight in kittens. And the stuffed cockerel. Edited March 23, 20206 yr by Ferdinand
March 23, 20206 yr Author My builder didn't like the open end..... <thinks about where to find some kittens>
March 23, 20206 yr Author So nice that BuildHub is the forum that keeps on giving - and potentially - saving. Thanks @ProDave. I need to do them all - think the dust might have settled enough now.
