Long time no post, but we are now at Fixing Stage. We fell out of love with Simonds for a bit and didn't want to bring anyone down from the…

Not sure if anyone living at the Range is still accessing this forum/thread, but if so.... can someone comment on the availability of broadband in the estate? I know that…

Very nice! Are you having any render work at all?

First things first. During our…

No idea about the drinking water from tank question, but it sounds quite bizarre. Surely any efforts to save water from the mains would be encouraged?

You've leapt ahead when we weren't looking!
The progress on your bricks has been amazing, post some pics!! Which brick have you gone for?

All of the photos are most excellent, keep them coming! We found the electrical stuff lots of fun as well, which was a surprise because I thought that I didn't…

We've been framed Thank you weather gods! After the slab making our home look smaller than we'd imagined, it all looks rather bigger…

We have a slab! Very impressed that on the first fine day after a week of rain, our slab was poured on a Saturday morning. After it bucketed down again…
