Hi, newbie here, have trawled this forum for a while (used to be over on ebuild).

 

We are 20 months into our mini grand designs. Little more complicated as we had to build around some of the existing house which was a bland 3 bed 50s box. New extension on side, knocked back half of the house out to just leave 2 up 2 down rooms, & extended that. Took roof off & had complete new roof. 

 

Worst part so far has to be living on site in a tourer, the ridiculous amount of steel beams we've had to have (along with crane hire) and it's not technically a new build so liable for all the VAT!

 

best part - seeing the new roof go on & the apex glass window with vaulted ceiling. Fantastic bricky 

 

its a true self build. Only get trades in where absolutely necessary

 

cheers
