Congratulations, that's such a big milestone. We still have lots to do here to complete but a pleasure to be in. Well done.

Thanks very much everyone.  

 

One thing is very clear,  the chances of us having achieved this without buildhub.org.uk is close to zero. If we had tried on our own, our bank balance would have been even emptier.

 

There's something very empowering about knowing that,  sometimes within minutes,  you can have informed opinions delivered straight to your laptop. When the soft and smelly hit the fan we were immediately supported with sensible advice and good wishes, as well as reassuring stories of similar calamity. 

A virtual group we may be. But the support experienced is very real. Very personal. And very C19 - safe. 

 

Thanks everyone.

I think my build will now slow down a bit if yours is done, it’s your funny little mishaps that keep me jolly, as I’m walking across those joists I often picture you stuck in the gap and feel all warm inside. 

 

Oh my life is pointless now. ?

Yes, and I have had loads of it since you started.

And thank you for all your help - you made me look just a little bit harder at many things.

I have just been taking the piss, can't take anything I say seriously.

A cracking house and occupants, thank you for your hospitality over the past couple of years and being "my pit stop" for a coffee on my way home.

Do you mean you are really in? 

Including a bed and kitchen sink...... 

 

If so, bloody well done. 

 

What are you going to do with all the spare time you now have??

Yes, properly in.

One bedroom needs a lot more work - no plaster yet - and you can feel the cold streaming in. Durisol is 86% fresh air after all. Vistors are offered a paint brush on entry ....?

You and I will be treading that path together.

 

I plan to submit mine in early January, but I want to try and contact them first to make sure they are at least open in some form to receive applications.  I don't want it posted and then sitting unopened in an empty office for months.

Really good to hear you're in! Hopefully won't be too long before we're down your way again as keen to see how much you've done since the boys tried to knock everything down with your minidigger.

Well done Ian, same amount of fingers at the end that you started with too.

 

You will slowly notice the transition from actual building to maintenance and gardening...
