Hi, I started a house build in my spare time a year ago to this day and thought I’d show some progress pics. I’ve got a bit of time as works slowed a bit so plan to finish over the next six weeks but thought I’d start by showing the build up to now.
Hope this is of interest to people who enjoy seeing this kind of stuff.
Here’s us digging the footings a year ago, took a day with the concrete pour the next day.
Then had my dad and friends help pour and level the slab
Frame going up, this was built by me and my mate who’s a chippy, all 6x2 at 400 centres clad in 11mm osb
Here are the easy joists with create the first floor
Luckily health and safety weren’t here this day!
Frame up, took about 3 months to get this far
Accoya arrives to make all windows and doors, this stuff is great but expensive
I’ll add more later if anyone’s interested
