[QUOTE="Kidds, post: 7878664, member: 5589"] Sourcing materials was a big issue for me. I made sure all materials were on site well before they were needed because it was always very likely to be told sorry, we don't have any plaster, plasterboard, insulation, roofing materials etc etc insert any building material you like. At the end of the renovation I had a pack of 50mm insulation sheets leftover and 8 bags of plaster went out of date and got skipped, that is all and that is nothing short of a bloody miracle. Longest wait was 9 months for new doors and windows and you won't believe how many times I went in and asked where are my feckin windows. It didn't hold anything up though to be honest and they came eventually. Patio doors were second hand off facebook and were meant as a temporary measure until we felt it was the right time to try and order new. Another miracle finding second hand in the right colour and some that fitted the hole but I managed it. I'm keeping them too as I like them better than what I was going to buy. A great deal of forward planning and a good helping of pure luck got me through. I built a new bungalow and a Dutch barn at the same time as it goes and when we look back at what we did achieve while the world fell to pieces amazes me. :) [/QUOTE]
