After many months of hard work, slog and toil, something huge has happened for us in this last week. Not only are all the dormers water-tight, sealed, guttered and clad in ColorCoat Urban, but the scaffolding has finally been taken down and reveals for the first time what's actually been built! Until the moment the... Continue Reading →
This feels like a genuine milestone. After several months of a spider's web of scaffolding all over the newly built and emerging 'West Wing' (cause it's the bit of the house which points due west), tomorrow is the day it all finally comes down.

You can tell from Builder Cat's wide... Continue Reading →
Hmmmmm. This has proven to be no mean feat. The new garage / workshop built in the last few months here at Moregeous Mansions plays an integral part in our overall house design as it's going to be so well used. Not only does it frame the rebuilt West Wing on one side, thus is... Continue Reading →
