A self build house in the making
Follow the process of how we are designing and building a new house ourselves - with help from all the right experts and trades.
Update March 2026 - We're still working on it!
Although the house is nearing completion (if that's ever possible!) and we're living in it, the blog is playing catch-up. More blog entries are being added all the time.

Today was a landmark day in the build, as the windows are now on-site.
Connecting to the outside world - water, gas and electricity
It's great to get the services sorted but it was a slightly painful process to get it completed.
Boarding out and insulating the roof
Hopefully we can get the roof on and watertight before any bad winter weather arrives.
