Before our self build began we knew that one of our definite purchases would be a timelapse camera. What better way to track progress and essentially look back on your journey in years to come!

Week 16 – Site Progress!
Well..what can I say..it has been a VERY quiet week on site! We have been waiting for scaffolding alllllllll week, and so the brickies haven’t been able to continue to first floor. Very frustrating.

The third week of brick laying has entailed the last of the ground floor external bricks at the front of the house, and then blockwork continued!
