Is it an off the shelf kit?

£43 - that's the same price I pay a UK-based provider to host a Ghost blog and email etc (approx £3.50 a month). Then theres the domain renewal on top of that, approx £10 per year. If it's just used for email, find somewhere that you can port your domain to and park it (so no hosting fees) and...

Just had a look into the Setcrete stuff - looks look a good workable product. What did you paint with to get that finish? An epoxy based paint?

Seeing as the weather was nice at the weekend I decided to do some footings investigation - prompted by Mike's advice to bring the outside ground to below the inside floor level. This main edge of the barn has approx 1 course of bricks (of the plinth) showing above the floor from the inside so...

If they are laid direct to soil/sand - should I be considering digging them up and putting in something a little more solid? i.e. a small foundation and new bricks/blocks.

Not much in the way of updates but I just wanted to share a couple more pictures with you. A couple of the floor from the front section of the barn (I believe originally a cart store). Appears to be brick laid across the whole floor in here. Also appears to be the same construction in the...

Well if you're ever in the Forest on a caravaning holiday or something - let me know! :mrgreen:

I've lived in the forest for a few years now and have attended my fair share of local Parish planning meetings and think I've got a good feel for the sort of things they and the NF Planning Authority care/worry about when it comes to developments. Maybe I can find a sympathetic local planner who...

I was informed by someone during the buying process that the barn is a heritage asset but so far I've found no official record of this. Once we're a bit more settled in I'll approach the local councils and do a bit of digging. First port of call though is the local library as according to my...

Thanks Mike, appreciate the direction. I've already started clearing the edges and cutting out ivy roots etc to help things. A slight issue will be getting access along the side of the building which sits on the boundary line with next-door. I've already started making friends so hopefully I...

That reminds me - I need to check up on the insurance!

This is a fun one. :mrgreen: Just moved into our new house. A late Victorian (exact build date currently unknown but title document makes reference to something happening in 1884) end terrace in the New Forest, Hampshire. In the rear garden we have what I can only describe as a timber...
