World Citizen Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 When starting the re-insulation of the original house roof I naively hoped I could get shot of the old plasterboard, plasterboard and insulation off cuts in our green wheelie bin over a few weeks 🙄 How wrong was I, we filled a tipper truck 😲 Throwing everything out the window worked so well I'm thinking of buying a couple of chamber pots instead of fitting toilets 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Let the tyres down a bit and that will fit under there 😊 🤣😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Citizen Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Finished doing all the internal glazing bar beading and fitted all the rear windows Looks less like an old house with a new extension and more like a whole old house now 😎 Window cutting n shutting was a heap of work but well worth it. Even up close the new windows are visually almost identical to the old windows Yew hedge is growing well, really hides the auto breakers yard vibe going on in my driveaway 😁 Next up, the front windows! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Citizen Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Thank you gents! Front is starting to look good too, was hoping by now to do the 'big reveal' with windows all fitted, taking a bit longer due to distractions sucking me away from building fun! So instead here is an update with a picture taken today from the top of my 5m tall scaffold tower while trying to fit my last window frame This was me while taking the photo 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndglynn Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Completely fab. I remember yelling at clouds while doing my loft conversion, half the roof on the scaffolding and clouds arriving to spoil the fun. Brilliant work 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Citizen Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Thanks gents! Ok, now for the big reveal of the front as it's finally looking like a house instead of a derelict property Taken over 4yrs of part/full time work by Mrs WC and myself to get this far Couldn't have done it without the amazing help from Chris our builder, Gary the architect, Vera the structural engineer, Banbury A&E department, Honda F1, Oxford Hernia Clinic, our tolerant neighbours and many local building supply companies Taaa daaa and here it is, As a reminder, this is what we started with before the garage was demolished This part was built 270yrs ago This part was started 4yrs ago and still not finished View from the other direction Just realised there is a thread viewing counter, wow 50k views 😘 I really should start selling a line of merchandise like anti-ballistic skin protectors, safety glasses and hernia reinforcing mesh with a catchy slogan printed on them 🤔 Next update should be garage only action and then updates will slow to a trickle as I've accepted an offer of a sit down job behind a comfy warm desk for autumn/winter Reasons for the temporary career change are, working in the cold sucks, inflation has depleted my build funds, my aging body needs a rest, and I'm not done playing with racing cars 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
