Nearly there!

[Captain Scally]

We've nearly finished our lovely Somerset barn conversion. The parents in law and my 99 year old mother have moved into two separate annexes. It all started 8 years ago and we've been building ever since inspite of lockdown and a nasty bout of cancer.

That is lovely!

The circular columns are great.

Shame the downpipes couldn't have run inside them.

Very nice 👌

That looks great.

 

I was admiring the gutters and dp's. Nice and big,  and multiple outlets and the splays will get the water away super fast. Was this to do with the circumstances or simply good practice..

Then I noticed the comment from @Square Feet Sorry ft2 I completely  disagree as I want shot of water asap and any leaks that may occur to be visible. And I think they look good.

 

I'm a philistine who thinks that a building is there to keep us safe, warm and dry. The rest is secondary.

 

I detest secret gutters, valley gutters,  hidden pipes and afterthought drainage.

Very well done, @Captain Scally.

Congrats, now for a good rest 😀.

Beautiful. Great job. Would love to see more pics / details. Excellent guttering.
