We're in!

[Stones]

Some may have noted my absence over the past two or three weeks. The curse of self building - not enough hours in the day! After a final push, a lot of cleaning and packing, we are at last in our new house. A few bits and bobs to finish off,  but we do have a Temporary Occupation Certificate, and really have nothing much more than pulling together paperwork for our Completion Certificate.

 

Watch this space...Blog update to follow in the next few days.

Awesome work!  

 

Based on past behaviour, are you out looking for a new plot to start the next build yet? 

[Tennentslager]

Congratulations, time to plan the menu for the house warming party???

[Guest Alphonsox]

Many congratulations

[Jeremy Harris]

Well done!

 

I'm still in the "clearing 17 years worth of junk out of the old house" stage", plus in the midst of a shoulder problem that's going to mean another round of surgery soon, I suspect....................

You must be so relieved.

And with Storm Doris just getting ready to test your tiles and windows, you'll be battened down with a big smile on your face.

Congrats ..! Now you can finish the blog and do the 500 little "finishing off" jobs on the list ..! 

[Crofter]

Great to hear! Venue for the forum AGM then?

[ProDave]

Congratulations. As you saw we are some way off that for a while, I won't even stab at a timescale for ours at the moment.

 

Dorris in nothing. It's blowing a hoolie here already and has been for a day or so. But that's just normal Highland winter weather, it doesn't even get a name. Dorris is set to go further south than here.

 

Where next for the next build? Shetland?

Congrats

[Stones]

Thanks for the kind words.  Yes, relieved we are in, and while there are various odd jobs still to do, it's so much nicer than being in the rental.  Dorris visited us last night and I'm pleased to say, the wind was barely audible, not a peep from the roof tiles (when I compare it to the clattering roof of the rental we've just left). Oodles of DHW, a steady 20C inside with ASHP barely ticking over.

 

As for another build, I suppose I should never say never, but I certainly don't have the appetite or drive to build or move again (no need to) compared to when I started off 20 odd years ago.
