Amazing Guys!

I would love to do something like this one day, and look at the size of the drive, that will fit ALOT of mk1's  

Will be nice when finished  will you then be renting caravan for holidays?
Have you got plans for a large garage?

Nice work Anna- it's going to be a cracking place once it's finished

Wow!

It's looking brilliant, Anna! Hats off to you for doing it

Yeah, caravan for rent! Thought about turning it into a party bar too!
This is the site for the garage, I've already bought a double garage door, so just need the funds for building now

Getting on with some works to make a path down to the cottage and have used dug out soil from the path and some from inside the cottage to make some raised beds in the garden.

Feels like some good progress this week, large part of the major structural work on the oldest part of the cottage complete. We've found the oldest record on the deeds is 1836, but the cottage is older, we think it might even have been some sort of barn or forge. Going to see if we can find out more from the local studies library.
The window opening have now been rebuilt upstairs, gable wall rendered, old rafters taken out, new wallplate fitted, woodworm treatment, chimney repaired, lined and new fireplace built!! Few, now having a weeks 'holiday' to do more work to roof timbers and insulating

Coming on nicely Anna !!

Bit early to be hanging pictures Anna , but what an awesome project.

You'll be sleeping in there in no time!  

Having a 'week off work' this week to get lots done, busman's holiday I think! Should have taken some pics today of me and Elv, we looked like chimney sweeps after opening up the old fireplace upstairs

LOL, enjoy the week Miss Poppins!  

Well done guys. You should be chuffed. It just takes more than money to take on this sort of project. It takes guts.

We couldn't do it! Proud of you!

Looks amazing,

I plan on building or restoring a house one day!

Going to keep an eye on updates now!

Si

we have just been through your project and it brought back so many memory's of our first home back in 1966
sadly we did not take any pics ! we have moved a number of times and always bought work and would do it again , but do not need to now , but miss the feeling and the challenge, you are making memories that you will never forget. good luck and best wishes
