Well, good morning folks.
I've bought a house since I was last in here..........a real wreck of a place, but with loads of potential. We're so excited!! It's a timber framed cottage, long, thin and tall, in the corner of a third of an acre plot, with fields on 3 sides, and a woodland across the tiny lane to the front. I've spent a few days drawing up various options for extensions etc, but the basic principle is to build an extension to the rear whilst camping in the cottage, then move into the extension whilst we restore the original. Restoration will involve stripping it back to the frame, and putting a new roof on. We then knock through and live in the entire house, before starting on the garage and garden. It's such a lovely project.......
