Okay....it's been a while since I updated this page! 😱

So..what have we done since the last entry..

Well..we have doors on, front and rear.

Gable end wall is done.

Dormer windows are almost finished! Well..one is!

Velux (well, Roto to be exact) windows are fitted in the roof!

And today...we have finally managed to make a good start on the tiling!!

Lots of huffing and puffing..but we are getting there!!! 😁

Ok....so I got a little ahead of myself saying it just needed bracing!! Having to make up the trusses around the windows and the stair section...FIDDLY HORRIBLE ANGLES!!! 😱. But we are getting there now. Got the frames in place for the Velux windows so we are close to being able to sheet up the roof on the road side of the house...😁

They’re affordable, they’re cosy and they’re less of a fire risk than a traditional home. So why has the construction industry been so slow to adopt bales instead of bricks?

This a link to our Huff'n'puff photo album on dropbox, where everyone who was on the course is (hopefully) going to share their photos to. 😊. We will keep adding photos as the build continues so if should be a pretty thorough tale of the build!

The end of a fantastic 5 days! We have had a great time, with great people and have the walls of the house almost fully completed!

It was quite emotional saying goodbye to everyone who helped, this has been more than just a house build.😊

9 helpers turned up today and a lovely bunch of people they are too. 😊. Got lots done, even though today was more about training.

And the roof trusses and all the accompanying woodwork also arrived and a friendly local farmer turned up with his big old forklift jcb and unloaded the truck for us!

It's been a good day! 😊😎😁🌞🌞🌞
