It’s been pretty quiet on the house building front but if everything goes to plan this time next year instead of standing in the cold looking at this fabulous view I’ll be in the warm looking out ! 🤞🏻
Here to a year of getting s**t done and building our house 🥂

Finally the last of the glasfoam is down and levelled (I hope). Honestly after today I kind of feel by deciding to build our own house when we know so little about building a house we have declared insanity 🤪

So the insulating foam bricks where put in place then this weekend we got stuck in with the shingle, membrane and then the glasfoam, this awesome eco product is made from recycled windscreens! Man we burnt some calories this weekend! 💪 hopefully all this will help keep us toasty warm ! 😁

It’s been slow progress since the summer but the bricklayers have been and it’s starting to look like more than a muddy patch !

Horay ! We have finally finished filling the footings ! We can now tick off this stage and the 60 tones of type 1 and move on to the next stage ! 😁

It’s frustratingly slow getting the footings done, loading the barrows by hand nearly finished us off so we relented and got the mini digger back. Can’t wait to tick this stage off and crack on with the next bit.
