All the drawings and plans are on the laptop and I'm on the phone, but I took a couple of low quality screenshots from the 3D video I have on my phone. Although we have made some changes since this video was made for us.

Looking forward to sitting here with this view. Although we'll be lucky to get 20 days of blue skies in a year!

 

That'll be a 2metre by 2metre window. The tallest of those trees on the left is actually dead and should be coming down some time this year hopefully.

How are you coping with the rising costs of materials in the emerald isle, Carradona ?

 

I just got a quote for the steel work for a simple garage design. Steel prices have doubled in the last year or two. It's now going to be all wood instead.

All exciting so far although the cost of materials are going up every couple of months so there's going to have to be compromises made along the way. Or a couple of unfinished rooms for a few years.

 

Just saw this post.

 

Pretty grim, isn't it ?

It'll be boss when it's done Cain.

 

Mrs's uncle is a painter and decorator and has been building his own gaff for about two years on his own near Omagh, got a sauna and snooker room in the attic and everything, it'd be worth about two million over here I reckon, it's fucking huge. Nobody does shit like that over here.
