We finally got the scaffold down today, oh how i had grown to hate it! Larch cladding next, starting to look a bit like a house now......only taken 18 months to get this far!

Oh. Liking the look of that. Have you got a build blog or earlier postings of the build?

Mind if I ask who the window / patio door supplier was??

Internorm but not from ecohaus we used Rangemoor who are in Solihull near Birmingham. They gave us a better deal than ecohas. They are 3g aluclad with laminated glass.

Thamk you, a labour of love painting them!

They are starting our rendering tomorrow.

I really hope the weather holds out.

Cedar cladding & stonework in a couple of weeks.

We are in a conservation area so had to conform to the vernacular.

We would have loved something really sharp & contemporary like yours.

Good luck tomorrow.I am really pleased with our render, it was expensive but it is really good. One of our rendering team was a girl and she was excellent and kept them all in order!

 

Our last house (built 30 years ago) was in a conservation area so know what you are up against.
