This is my log burner fitted to our static caravan.  It saw us through the winter where we had the "beast from the east"

 

Hope you don't mind had a peek at your blog. looks impressive. Has this build been over the last 5 years ? as that looks like where we are heading

Yes been building for 5 years now.  Not the intended plan as a house sale did not happen when we needed it, so we had to lay off the builder as soon as the shell was up and do a LOT more ourselves with a drip drip feed of funds.  A "build as you earn" project.

 

Realistically still another year from completion.

The bottle of Glenlivet next to it probably helped as well I guess? ???

We are in the same boat. Due to the economic uncertainty and covid along with £25k to place cables underground the initial outlay has gone so no way would we get a mortgage now. As we have planning permission it would be a shame not to even attmpt the project. Quite similar to yours in fact. Building using ICF. In the meantime it's a log cabin which should us through probably the next five years. 
Your house looks great and I will be following the progress with interest maybe even picking your brains along the way :)
