JC Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Haven't done anything to the house for a few weeks up until this week, in the mean time we've been busy on the garage which in between the bad weather is slowly taking shape......

Simon Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Looking stunning Jason. You did pick a house of just about the most exepensive construction type to do anything with!!!! Both labour and materials must be totalling a small fortune!! Really doing it justice though, looking forward to seeing the shell complete and scaffold down....

JC Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 looking good jas, what sort of windows will be fitted then??? i asume woodern ones down to planning regs ect Single glazed Yorkshire sash Sean.... not ideal but it's a condition on the planning. \ Corr thats a flash house, bet that bit your adding on is worth a pretty penny, does the hosue get very cold been all stone ?? Costs a small fortune to heat in the winter Nick, due to number of factors really.... construction of the walls is one, another major factor is the overall design of the building.... it looks like a chimney and works like one! The slightest draft around a door or window is amplified by the wind blowing over the house and drawing air up through the house... I'm currently looking at alternative heating methods for the house to try and reduce my heating bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
