Our home renovation project - Opposite of MSE philosophy!!

Bad weather, holidays etc have delayed some of the works, so running about 1 month late from predicted stage, but things are going at pace now. 

All the glazing is in now (a certain shade of grey ). First fix electric and gas is all nearly done, flooring is next before plastering. It’s taken longer than expected to get to this stage, and the we are already over the original build quote from pre-covid, but for me the results are worth every single penny. I’m really missing the garden now.

I wasn’t sure just how the front glazing was going to look, but quite surprised at how reflective the glass is from the outside and the clear view from the inside. The pace of work in the last few weeks have been amazing, hope it carries on at this rate, and who knows, maybe we’ll be in by Easter .

The existing part of the house is now re-energised, and UFH is ready for screed.

The untouched windows are all from around 2015, design choice was made by the previous owners.

@FreeBear will be glad to see some insulation is now going in

Is that all that is going in to the roof ?

Once the gaps have been filled with expanding foam, you should have a nice warm space that will be easy to heat.

The end is nigh.....I hope.:).

We now have a kitchen install date booked, tilies been delivered, plasters will be done by end of next week, I also couldn't resist any longer to have a peek at the front door.

Demolition works has restarted out doors though, but this time on a much smaller scale. We have decied to treat ourselves to something we were 50:50 about in the summer of 23 when we visited Grand Design live.......Hope come the last week of March we wouldn't regret the decision:)

I'm enjoying the updates. There's a few things there that I cannot figure out how they'll end up!
What's the Grand Design 'treat' you are talking about? Is it your door choice? Anticipating summat special now...
