Thanks

I got two lots from different online websites, the first are larger and plastic and the second smaller and grippier. I'll find a link later

I can't really help regarding funding, I funded mine by selling my narowboat. It does sound realistic what you are suggesting. Even though I'm a technician I don't work on housing projects and its completely different to working on a £150 million research building but it does a help a little.
I would sketch out/ schedule out everything and take it from there. Also read the building regulations regarding fire/ escape and thermal insulation to get as much knowledge as possible

Cheers!

update is the upstairs is almost finished, just doors to hang, bit of skirting board and carpets. Downstairs is way off and only plasterboarded enough to get the radiators on the walls.

I've created a climbing wall up to the kids den in the loft which they love.

apologies for the delay in replying I missed you posting.

pretty much as you said so basically, I did the foundations myself and got a builder to do the shell and core including replacing roof to the existing at the same time. I did the first fix joinery and all the plasterboarding myself, I had an electrician in to do the first fix and I did the second fix and the same with the plumber.
I also paid plasterers to skim the upstairs and I've done all the send fix joinery apart from the doors as I'm desperate to get the children back in their beds, currently on mattresses in the living room.

My tips would be to think everything through, radiator positions, sizes, power points, floor finishes, lights, etc. I'm an architectural technician and thought I'd be able to 'wing' it but got caught out a couple of times. Don't underestimate the time it takes and good luck, it's much more rewarding doing it yourself and it gives you time to work things out without the pressure of a builder waiting on your answer.
Let me know if you have anymore questions

At the same time, I also owned a 1 owner 45k miles 1.6 gti which was completely standard. Drove it for a year and left in at my parents' house and sold it a couple of years later for £500!

whenever anybody mentions 205 gti's I remember this I owned....the suspension was track focused and my girlfriend at the time complained it made her t*t's hurt over the bumps...

it took a few weeks and lost out on a couple but I was in no rush.

I agree the green is nice - poor man's explorer

I think there is a small fee to pay but not 100% less than £10. I bought a Grand Seiko as well a couple of months ago. I've had to pay import duty and handling fees both time

Trying to capture the green colour outside

It was classed as used but it looks pretty much as new to me without a mark in it.
It was even sized to my wrist!

It’s lovely, you don’t really notice the green till it’s in full sun.

From Japan from buyee - think it was £240 ish

Yes I really like it. The lightness of it takes some getting used to but I prefer it to my pelagos

New watch day, seems a bit insignificant after seeing the new sub

Builders are pretty much finished, electricians been and done his first fix and we’ve started knocking through at both levels. . I’m also on with building the stud walls at first floor.

Put the gs on a leather strap (two stitch vintage)

Would have been quicker if the builder hadn’t of had the habit of going AWOL. which I think they all have the habit of doing.

Scaffolding down and a couple of windows fitted

Overhang on the roof, existing ones at rotted - will take photo when installed

Started laying the floor but got distracted by building some gallow brackets….

Starter ties as specified by SE

It’s supposedly acting as a buttress wall providing restraint to the gable wall

I’ve completed my wall - not perfect and would be better if I was to build another

I’ve nearly built a wall….

Downstairs I will remove the bay window and this will link the spaces. Upstairs will be a door where the window is. Plans are on the first page

I’m afraid I’ve not done anything since but will be doing first floor boarding soon and dot n dabbing as soon as water tight
