My renovation and "small" extension

[shambolic]

Glulam beams in below walkway and above hall



First roof trusses in. (the back ones will be Glulam and visible when finished).



Just two quick iPhone snaps when I came in from work. W busy so never spent much time!
Hopefully better stuff tomorrow as more roof work and Glulams in.

Sorry not been on as progress a bit slow due to weather and builders and usual stuff!!
We have a roof of sorts! Slated next week. Stonemason coming tomorrow to start rebuilding internal stone walls.
Here's a couple of photos from today.











Will update next week after roof etc!!

The nicest builds ive seen in some time. You have good taste. Well, I think so. Congrats

Thanks but I would say most of the credit goes to my wife and the Architects.
The design and now the actual house has been really true to the architects initial sketches and proposal that ourselves and he came up with.
His ideas and some of the small details of lines of site, windows lining up, natural light and flow of the house have all worked out fantastic.
