The Eagle Has Landed!

[Ralph]

We bought our plot over 6 years ago and it took until just a few weeks before the first lockdown to actually break ground. 

 

It's been an absolute pig of a time but and we are finally in the house, albeit with still a fair bit to do.

 

Thanks for all the help and advice, going right back to the previous incarnation of the forum. I'll no doubt need more in the coming months.

Stunning - house and location.

[Thorfun]

I love those stairs . Like a dragons spine with Daenerys Targaryen walking down them naked - oops sorry , one of my many fantasies…

[Mr Punter]

That is so well detailed.  Both the views and the house are inspiring.  You should be proud of yourself!

The hard wax we are putting on takes a good few hours to dry before we can walk on it so I'm hoping we can get it done this or next weekend.

Just fantastic - wishing you many happy years there.
