Hello from Slovakia

[CymroSk]

Hello All!

I'm a Welshman living now in Slovakia.  Lots of self-building going on.  Original log-built farmhouse dates from 1912.  Presently almost at first fix of a 65sqm two storey extension with 1.1/2 size garage below workshop.  Also includes an entrance hall and family bathroom above. Two of us have done almost everything, except for help laying the concrete subfloor.  The extension walls are timber frame, modified larsen truss, 300mm with sheep's wool insulation.

 

I will be putting some questions up shortly about the plumbing for the extension and rear of the house, the 'front' half (shown below) having been restored/rebuilt in 2006/7.  Lots has been learnt from that work, poor design decisions on our part, poor implementation by contractors etc.  Which is in part why I'm doing most myself!

That looks a beautiful place to be. I'm wincing a bit about the roundtrip to Srewfix, but other than that .... no coronation, no BoJo or Truss. Wha's not ter like?

 

You giving English lessons out there then ? 😉

Agree, because you want it done right ... and preferably first time...

Yes, well... first time usually, but slow always!
