How did go & get bits from old factory's & places? Want to find some old wood to create a kitchen table but not idea where to look?
You get good at spotting and claiming it. To the point where you end up with a garage full of wood 'for projects' and you can't get to your tools. Allegedly. bobski1 said:
Lovely house, perfectly designed. Really thought they'd struggle with all the regulations but impressed they didn't go over the budget that much.

Look for a place with a skip outside and ask if you can root through and take anything they have dumped (or go at night with a torch and don't ask).How did go & get bits from old factory's & places? Want to find some old wood to create a kitchen table but not idea where to look?
Done very, very well.
Could easily live there.
One thing GD has never done is talk values. In most cases I agree, however in examples such as this I do think it's worth pointing out quite how much they've saved through self labour, favours and access to materials and prices non-trades could never get. It would highlight the achievement as well as giving more realistic expectations.
Artwork, both paintings and ceramics, are stunning.

I feel sorry for this week's woman as she must be barren.

I'm not sure how much he 'saved' by doing it himself - nearly two year's of a plumber's labour is a fair whack of money. The big savings were for things like the salvaged materials and 'mates rates', where someone else's labour is going cheap.
