If so, please show your hand below!

I need to speak to you!

Not going to try and sell you anything - just want to run something by you!

Have a very slow burn project under way and self build is always something I have wanted to do.

Design and Planning sorted but currently on hold due to other commitments.

Have tackled the odd extension before too. Glad to share any info I have.

I'm a Builders Merchant and have helped maybe a couple of hundred Self-Builds if that's of any use?

I'm in the middle of doing a selfbuild. If there's anything you want to ask then just drop me an E-mail. We've been through every possible problem you can think of from day 1 so can certainly tell you about the bad side of it................but It'll be worth it in the end, I keep telling myself that!
From this.........



To this so far..........
