Front porch arch finished

Front porch arch finished as has the chimney above. Blockwork is now complete - have to decide on our windows now and get ready for first fix electrics. So many decisions and I am sure so many mistakes will be made :-)

Upstairs blockwork nearly finished

Upstairs blockwork almost complete.


Arch for over the front door - the final piece of the puzzle.

Looking forward to the roof starting next week - hopefully the weather will be suitable!

Blocks upstairs

Moving along nicely. Great views :-)

Walls coming along

Front of house is coming along now.
Front window in the sitting room - should let lots of light in .. just need to find a good window cleaner!
View from the playroom into the sitting room.

Hopefully the downstairs blockwork should be finished in the next couple of days.

Rain hampering blockwork

View from my parents house.

Our very high ceilings!!

Still, some blocks going up in between the showers.
Our dowstairs wc - one of the two internal rooms where the blocks are finished.

Colin in the downstairs utility - wonder how much time he will spend in there :-)

Hopefully the bad weather promised stays away, so the blocks can continue ...

Blocks at back of house nearly up to first floor level

Going to have lovely high windows in the study to enjoy the view to the back of the house.

Blocks near ceiling height

Like turrets in a castle - the blocks to ceiling height are now going up - view from the back of the house.
Study
WC downstairs off the utility. Our ceiling height is over 2.8m, so going to have nice high ceilings!

Blocks on-going

The view from the front of the house - Colin is in the middle of our sitting room.

The view in the front porch - opening into the hall - stairways to go straight in middle and below the view back out the front door.
The study/downstairs bedroom at the back.
The sitting room - a room a lot of time was spent in this weekend figuring out fireplace sizes - never knew there were so many options!!
View from the back of the house - can see the foundation of the garage sticking its nose in. The double doors will lead into the playroom and then into the sitting room.
View in the door beside the utility
View in the kitchen window at the front. Nice big window to let a lot of sunlight in!

Internal blocks starting

Entrance into the sitting room ... view of kingspan insulation out our patio doors from sitting room at the moment!

View out double doors from dining area in kitchen.
