Nearly's permitted development

[Nearly]

Kitchen

Diner

to open plan sitting area, staircase to go up where ladder is.

One bedroom behind me to left, main bathroom directly behind and utility / entrance behind me to right.

 

[Nearly]

Upstairs. En suite. (kingspan blocking window opening for now.

Looking back out of bathroom, stairs to right.

Under eaves storage, with electric lights.

It was originally planned for disabled / old bugger living downstairs with carer above. This is still an option, but parents 'aren't ready to move out of big house'
So holiday cottage-dom beckons, to repay my brother for his investment. Bless him.

I'll be making him a workshop corner in the farm shed for his various vehicles, might even insulate an office area above (with bedroom) on a mezzanine.

 

[Kidds]

Looking nice

 

[Dman2]

Looking good
Must be bored today, wife not letting you out to play?

 

[Nearly]

Been playing in workshop.
I'm not allowed to work without supervision of builder.
I'm mainly forklift driver and gopher, leaving skilled stuff to others.

 

[suffolksmallholder]

Looking good there! @Nearly
One suggestion for the kitchen that is sometimes omitted.....line the walls that hold the units with plywood prior to plasterboarding. You'll then have good fixing without the need to use long screws through into either the battens or through into the original brickwork. Your builders may already do this but I'm offering a prompt!

@Nearly did you get confirmation from the planners for this development ? I've heard some people hear nothing after the 56 days and presumably go ahead

Got permission in writing after they refused too late for all 3.
Hambleton Council just admitted it and seem to want to forget about me, which is good.

More jam than Hartleys, you have @Nearly (Tim told me about the man basket.....)

 

[Nearly]

Did he tell you that we were bidding against each other for a jcb pallet tine backplate. I cost him £27.

But obviously I've just earned it back for him.

No, he didn't! Did he give you some wheels for me? I was under bidder on man basket btw!
Top job with conversions, see, you do have need for two forklifts! Gonna need loader back on mft soon.....then you'll need another tractor.....

I haven't been down yet. Make sure you call in on him sometime when not visiting Lord T.

looking good @Nearly.

Up here you will never get permission for conversions within a working farm.

Excellent hope they disown me , any contacts for insulation ?

Once we get 3 cottages up and running it will be even less of a working farm than it is now.
I'd have agreed to knock one shed down (behind brick barn) and stop keeping cows next to 2 cottages if council had asked but they fecked up completely on the lot.

The cottages and house have a separate access to the farmyard anyway.

The fibre cement barn to the north is going to be function venue for birthdays / weddings etc as we have a lovely view from the top of the hill.

Jewson's seem to have big stock. Hardly worth getting seconds if expensive labour needs to install it.
As it's all 5% vat everything is coming through builder, using his discount.
Easier that trying to get merchant to invoice at 5%

Thought the 5% vat was for labour .

5% vat on everything, but can't claim it back.
Handy to have a few farm repairs going on at same time?

Compressor bubbler. I hope to never find out more.

Compressors wear out, we fitted an Entec Biotec in 1995 & are on our 2nd replacement compressor. Also on our 2nd replacement submersible pump but you may not have one of them. When you need a new compressor, just google the name on it & it will cost you half what the merchant wants for it

Yes Granny, just make a hole in each end and blow

I think it works like Jacques Cousteau's invention for moving silt from shipwrecks and just blows bubbles up a pipe rather than actually pumps it round. No subs pump on mine, just a 3/4 air hose.
