I know you all like a DIY build project so I thought since it had snowed here and the house couldn't look prettier I'd stick some photos up for you all to get a bit green eyed over.

A bit of background first...

My wife and I are novices, however we've managed all aspects of this build ourselves. We drew the initial sketches and worked them right up to construction drawings, we selected the materials and did a lot of the construction work ourselves.

Best eat it fast or you'll find that tyrant Kevin McCloud all over it commenting on how environmentally sound it could have been and appraising your project managment skills.

Brilliant. clap

I was just getting all warmed up for reading about someone's interesting house build... and I'm not disappointed in the slightest (although I am slightly hungry now).

Christ don't flatter yourself, I said your chimney looks a little like a todger, not that I wanted to knob your gingerbread house. biggrin

We've had a bit of a problem actually... Beofre we could start on the second fit we had the buildings regs inspector round on a surprise visit, he ran through and submitted his report before we could catch him... We got him on cctv though....
