Rendering finished on the front and some scaffold down, we’re really happy with the finish.

Looks amazing - very impressive! We're just about to start our own tired old house transformation, so this thread has been really useful.

You mentioned a budget of £120k in a previous post. Did you actually manage all of that - the extension, roof, windows, render etc within that. If you did I will be mightily relieved! biggrin

Thanks!!

It’ll be more like £160k all in (he says).

As it’s wales, I’m inventively on the side of a hill, so in order to have 5m of patio area the other side of the extension we had to remove 800-t of soil which wasn’t cheap. That in addition to the new retaining walls, steps and 100m2 patio were a significant additional cost when compared to flat ground.

There was areas would could’ve saved on, but it’ll be our family home for the foreseeable.

We just want to get back in there now!

It’s going to be a stunner of a house. Great work.

Where are you staying throughout the build? Rented?

Thanks....staying with my Wife’s parents.

Luckily their house is stunning and they’re very kind and easy going....plus she’s got 12-year old twin brothers are a great laugh.

It’ll very quiet when we’re back in but am looking forward to it now!

Very, very nice. Cracking renovation that.

What's your wall colour out of interest?

Thanks. Appreciated.

Internally, cornforth white (which is a light grey), and wimborne white. Both f&b colour matched to Dulux

Windows & doors are RAL 7038 (agate grey, though has a pale green undertone)

Externally it’s Johnstone Silicone Render, colour Ivory.

Thanks alot.

So those internal bedroom walls are cornforth white? Didn't expect it to look that grey - interesting.

That’s right. Odd considering “white” is in the name.
