In between Lets, Sales, Children and Dogs, I’ve squeezed this little baby in!
If you don’t know already me and my husband have been building this 5000 sq ft (all singing all dancing) house in leafy Highgate. Hence the blood, sweat (hubby) and tears (moi). We did a ‘Grand Design’ and sacked everyone, including the architect as they were all treating it as their own personal ego trip, except our Quantity Surveyor, Mark, who comes down every month from Salford, my old town. Coincidence by the way.
So I’m now at the stage of choosing (in no particular order):
And Just For Fun.
I’m more than happy to share my experiences of being a Self Builder, and I’d love to hear from you, we can share the frustrations, achievements and as we’re still building any advice.
Until next time…

Nice project you got there. No compromises. Those designs need conscience in their multiple equations. Self ” doers ” we salute YOU. Keep it straight tho ! Have fun.

Completely right, this type of building is quite different from our typical bricks and mortar type dwellings and we are hoping to do it justice. It’s been quite a slog…
Will keep it straight from an honestly point of view as well! ;0)
