Nice to see positive news in the timber frame world

We used Fleming Homes for our house and did a road trip to the factory when it was being made. So we met the people who had helped us design it and the hands on makers. I was really pleased to see they are expanding their offer - secondary insulation, membrane and battens factory fitted… that would have saved us some time. Insulation = worst job ever 😆 and fitting up scaffolding in our vaulted ceiling was no fun. News of factory insulated roof ‘cassettes’ almost made me want to do another 🤣 (my biggest self-build fear is we’ll finish and I will want to build again…)

It's a bit like childbirth (I imagine). In the immediate aftermath you can't imagine wanting to do it again, but the memory of the pain fades and you find yourself thinking about it.

 

I'd love to build again, but I couldn't manage it while having a day job. We might sell up when we retire and put the money towards a smaller new build somewhere a bit cheaper.
