We were forced to stop concreting founds due to too much rain.................................. and sort out the shed as it will be needed or storing the windows very soon. Unlike almost all the Grand Designs builders whose windows arrive weeks or months after the shell of the building is up ours will be here several months before we can consider getting the kit up. It is now pretty much wrapped and battened. The door headroom is 2.1m windows on pallets are 2.25m so I am removing the top of the door frame to give us the necessary clearance. We can get a max of 2.31m. There is still the eaves overhang to worry about. Hope it works. We are apprehensive.
Follow our experiences in self building our ecohouse on the west coast of Scotland on the Isle of Gigha on our croft plus the occasional rant about life the universe and everything. Our build is pretty innovative in being roundhouses (2 x linked dodecahedra) built in Structural Insulated Panels with no internal structural walls or timbers and with a turf roof. Never been done before or so we think. Check out our website at http://www.ecoroundhouse.co.uk/
