[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 3732544, member: 1498"] I'm nine years in & counting.......The finished part is fab. I sit in the unfinished part & dream of what it will become. I look at the half started part & think of the pain:rolleyes: This is my own place so I work on it when I'm not working for others or keeping the smallholding in good order. I have built about fifteen houses in my time. Firstly as an apprentice for a big housebuilder co, then as a subbie, then as a contractor & renovated some interesting places too, using my acquired skill-set. I do all the basic electrics ( & test before burying) & all pipework runs with the finishes & testing being done by the required trades when needed. [USER=1545]@hindmaist[/USER] agree with you & yes [USER=6]@Clive[/USER] still way over budget hence the time!:whistle: My biggest worry now is I'm really s l o w because my body is telling me it's had enough....:banghead::banghead::banghead: Forethought is a major player. I'm still picking up where I left something eight years previously. Particularly under-ground. An interesting part is there's very little rubbish. As an example, I've never had a skip on site. If I need to get rid of excess packaging I fill my truck & go to the local tip, occasionally paying for plasterboard disposal but most stuff is used or saved for 'ron. I have to look in my 'ron store before going to the merchant in case I've put it in stock & forgotten. An example recently being ALL the gas fittings/regulator & etc in a carefully labelled box but just out of sight. Ready for the day when the cooker is commissioned. Ran up a £160 bill but went to check before pressing the BUY button......:ROFLMAO: SS [/QUOTE]
