Hi from Self Builder in West Dorset

Hi to all.

 

I,m 71 and still building after 3.5 years having built most of our retirement bungalow myself in our West Dorset country plot.

I have a traditional design using traditional construction method, all well tried and tested.

It proves as a practical engineering type person it is possible, but you need fitness, time, tenacity and a very patient spouse.

I use builders merchant, internet, building inspector for that extra knowledge.

Always was a tight budget, priced out all material and a small amount of labour at the start, but confirm I am still on budget.

Have a few build tools that I have finished with such as "Marshall Brickwork Profiles" plus an under floor heating pipe stapler all at a good price.

Now working the inside and need to know other self builders views on plasterwork so will post a separate topic on my issues.

 

Regards
