Just had the garden front and back all planted out today so it's a little softer now than in the photos.

Damn, I was REALLY close when my MiLs car broke down the other week on Canford Cliffs Road - I'd have been round with that bottle I owe you if I'd known!!
You can turn up without a bottle even - plenty here smile

Absolutely love this house, shame to see it being sold but the thread and final product are an inspiration for me to do something similar one day!
By the sounds of it, Gary had a great team working with him and no doubt learn't so much (things to do differently) he wants to have another crack at the dream house.
Exactly this. When I started, I was told by a few people that one of two things will happen; either I would hate the whole process and never want to do it again OR I would love it and get the bug to do it again. With it being the latter I want to build something again but different.

Hi Gary,

Although an old thread, I’ve just come across it as we are commencing a similar renovation project and at the stage of choosing the outside render/cladding.

Would you mind me asking which render system you went with? We’re going with Baumit and having EWI as well.
In terms of cladding was the wood Marley Weatherboard in Light Oak??
Where did you source the external slate cladding from?
Hi Janbo,

No idea what render was used.
I believe the wood cladding is Marley Cedral but cannot remember the colour we used.
The external cladding is Charcoal XLS from Nortstone. Link I got it from here - http://www.brick-clad.co.uk/
