Old self-builder

[Westcott]

Hello all,

We started our self-build nearly 40 years ago.

Timber frame, brick-clad, underfloor heating, and enough insulation to get a C rating a couple of years ago.

20 years ago we converted the attic, wish we'd known about attic trusses for the original design.

Since then we've extended sideways twice, and are now adding a garden room/shed.

I'll soon be asking about hybrid pumps, to augment the gas boiler.

Welcome to THE forum for self builders (old or new), hope you find it useful to be here.

Welcome

 

So not finished after 40 years.  That should cheer up others.

Yes we have only been going 4 and I feel like an old stager, still 18 months to go at current pace.
