playing catch up

Well here is the renewed blog. After six months of total silence we have made a fresh start. There is a wee bit of back-blogging to do to catch up with where we are now from the posts on our website www.ecoroundhouse.co.uk.

As of today we do not have the Building Warrant but we do have a shed 3.6 x 2.4 m turf roof going on as soon as it stops raining, clad in larch. Photos to follow.

We have spent the Autumn sourcing materials as we have had no digger to work on the site until last week. That is a long story and one which will be told...

As we couldn't do much actually on site given the various complications we have been busy organising and are well ahead of ourselves in buying materials and fittings - we pick up our bathroom stuff next week and already have 220 square metres of slate and wooden flooring.

We have been very lucky to deal with some excellent suppliers, especially for our flooring at Mrs Stone Store, and have managed to find ourselves some real bargains. We have also dealt with some real eejits.

We also have quotations (not estimates) for both kit and windows and these are actually better value than the original estimates when we were costing the project so our budget is looking fairly healthy just now.
