Russdl Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Hello all. Still a future self builder, just north of Salisbury. We have a bungalow, ripe for demolition (rented out). We have an ever changing plan. We have a timescale, it was a 5 year plan - one and a half to go. We had access to the most incredible font of knowledge - which died and seems to have been resurrected, so many thanks to the FFG. I'll get back to learning loads and be here with questions aplenty soon... Yours, gratefully. Russ.
ProDave Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Welcome back. Keep the questions coming and together we can rebuild what has been lost.
Jeremy Harris Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Welcome Russ, as you know you're only a stone's throw from us, and probably in the same planning area (are you just in the South Wiltshire area or are you in Test Valley?) My guess is you're close to the boundary of the two.
Russdl Posted May 22, 2016 Author Posted May 22, 2016 Thanks Dave/Jeremy. Indeed Jeremy, after the demise of eBuild I was going to bang on your door to see if you'd be a consultant on my build! South Wilts; I'm on, and plan to be on, the A338 between Salisbury and Porton and I suspect 'planning' will be the topic of my first round of questions. Russ.
Jeremy Harris Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 We're currently in Porton, and I seem to remember you saying on Ebuild that you were nearby.
Nickfromwales Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Hi russ. Don't hang about mate, get the questions going ! welcome aboard !
Russdl Posted May 22, 2016 Author Posted May 22, 2016 Be careful what you wish for Nick, I'll start bugging you all soon. Let's hope I don't get barred due to my depth of ignorance! Jeremy, yes, we're in Hurdcott. I had the pleasure of visiting your new build a couple of times last year. I take it you've not fully moved in yet as you say you're still in Porton?
Jeremy Harris Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 We've had a few problems with the borehole that held things up, but should get a completion chit in the next week or two. I've been trying to get as much of the landscaping done as is on the plan, so we can get the VAT back on it, which has delayed thing, as we pretty much ran out of money at the end of last year, so have been doing things as we can afford them.
