Build 2 coming up

[Tyke2]

Hi All

 

I'm looking at doing my second self build. Which will be a traditional new build. I did a listed barn conversion 18 years ago.

I must hold my hands up to a bit more knowledge than that though as I worked in technical depts. in some of the national house builders for 20 years.

Most knowledge is of traditional brick/block construction, plus a bit of timber frame. I have done pretty much every site abnormal known though.

I have precious little practical experience in renewables, but did a little PV roofing about 15 years ago.

From experience more innovation is done by the self build "crowd" than any of the national builders!

+1 to welcoming you to the forum. Really good to get someone new to the forum who is not only willing to contribute but has the depth of knowledge you have. Hold on tight though it can be a bit choppy out there !! ?
