Finally I'm able to do some more blogging - it's incredible where time flies off to? I honestly thought I would have so much time on my hands over this last few months but in fact its been the opposite!
I guess when we are always 'counting down' to one event or another it possibly makes everything go faster? I don't know..!
Anyway - our house was "delivered" and the team started to erect on Monday 30th September; its now 38 days later and the roof tiles are going on! Amazing progress.
In this time we have had the electricity & the water connected, a feat in itself.
The studio has taken shape and I must say I am totally thrilled with it - its going to be an amazing space to work in. We are finishing the flooring this weekend and still have quite a way to go but at least its warm and weather proof. As you can see it took 4 guys to carry the bifold doors into position!!!
The house "kit" went up extremely fast initially with 2 guys on site: Rich and Kyle and joined later by Mick, Greg & Pete. They've done a fantastic job and we are extremely pleased with the product.
The funniest thing was a hidden room we didn't know about - sounds mad doesn't it? But the utility room is a connecting room to the garage and there's no bedrooms above that side of the house and nothing on the drawings so we discovered a space above the utility which has now been promoted to a walk-in wardrobe!!
Here's the first floor finished with a promise of good weather for the next day..
Second floor master bedroom walls go in - you can just see the size and shape of our bedroom window; it's enormous!!!
A double rainbow for luck?
The only hard hat on site is used to store nails and screws!!!
The Roof panels are on..
Oh and did I mention the mud??? This is what site has been looking like with all the rain we've had! Its been awful for Richard who has to go to work in a suit and shiny shoes and for the dogs who are permanently licking their paws :-(
The rear elevation with waterproof membrane and battening ready for tiles
We do have some very nosey
"neigh" bours...sorry couldn't resist!! These are the two horses from the paddock at the back of the garden
Now we have tiles on the roof - I am so chuffed as its looking fabulous and as I mentioned only 38 days ago we were looking at foundations
Roof close up! And the beautiful valley tiles - I couldn't resist the patterns here!
And so with the progress rate I will endeavour to come back soon with all the latest photos, keep looking and visit us if you can
