Trw144 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Well I started my build March 16 with the best intentions of producing a blog for the site. Well, full time work and two children plus the build meant the blog feel by the wayside, so instead of a blog I thought I could at least post some finished pictures, and if anyone has any questions on what I ve done I can answer them. Anyhow here's the back of the house, with the sliding doors opening up to the open plan kitchen/dining/lounge...

Jeremy Harris Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Looks very crisp and neat. I particularly like the shaded balcony, that seems a really good looking, and very practical, feature. I'm not normally a fan of modern design, but have to say that I'd love to live in a house like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That patio set looks lost. Yes - we actually bought it for the balcony of our old house and never used it. We only got it out of storage the other day but a new patio set is on the shopping list!

ProDave Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Started in March, Finished in June. No wonder you didn't have time to keep the blog updated. I won't let SWMBO know how quick you built your house...... Looks very smart indeed. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, yes march 2016! We moved in in December - since then have been doing the outside cladding and garden. Did them pretty much side by side.

Declan52 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 It really does taste nice. It's chicken and beer how could it not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Just a tip - find a beer can that doesn't have the plastic widget in it as it doesn't taste nice when it's been melted .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did them pretty much side by side. Cladding looks very sharp. What is it? (P.S. I love beer can chicken. St Austell Tribute Ale is by far the best chicken beer!
