Lesgrandepotato Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 All the lighting circuits are on, the thermal store is hot. The kitchens in, bathrooms tiled. Glass for the stairs has been delivered and there is only the chimney to plaster. Dare i I dream that the end is actually in sight? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiehamy Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Good stuff! I'm hoping I can post something like this soon too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundtuit Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Looks great! Can't wait to be in the same position. I do like your light fittings sans ceiling rose - a nice clean detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSS Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Good stuff. You'll be in in no time if our experience is typical as we found an extra burst of energy for the final push. The nearer the finish line gets, the more eager we were to cross it Okay, we still have some cosmetic stuff to finish off, but two weeks on from moving in we finally have a home rather than a 'site', and it feels great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToughButterCup Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 That must be a very satisfying feeling. And managing to do so on top of doing a full time job is all the more creditable. Got a house-warming date in mind? (Sorry ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean details is a bit of a mantra for the build, but it never ceases to amaze me what fellow buildhubbers notice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Really liking the light wash on the wall in the first pic . Good to hear the TS is in and functioning. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesgrandepotato Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Cheers @Nickfromwales it’s quite the piece of kit. I expected it to be heating up the whole utility but it’s practically room temp on the outside of the store. The only leakage is off the pipe work! Updates coming thick and fast now. Today’s is the final stair parts going in.. you need to look closely to spot my favourite detail... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jml Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Love the fact that the glass balustrade seems to zig zag up the steps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
