The house that Tractor built....a diary of sorts

[Tractor]

Well, tomorrow i start on building my house, well its more of an extension really as it is on the side of my inlaws house (pictures later).
As i was going to take photos and put them on an online gallery i thought i may aswell document the trials on here as it will be god to look back on when its finishd.
Its on a bit of a shoestring budget and i will be trying to do some of the stuff myself and get friends in to do the rest.
Im hoping, weather permitting we should be moved in by February.
I might also through in a bit of poker along the way too!

Lets gogogogo.....

Well shouldnt be a problem, and the builders are cheaper at the moment as there is less work around here at the moment.
Luckily the inlaws are cool so no probs there.

Lol at this familiarity.

Only difference is that I started in July so I'm even further behind.

I genuinely feel your pain Mr Tractor.

I wish I'd seen this thread when you first posted it. We could've had a building progress joint diary and shared each other's woes.

[X] Should be finished in about 6 weeks.

[X] 25% over budget.

[ ] I could afford my original budget.

GL with the final stages.

Arrrggghhhhh,,,, What stage are you at now? We are plastering at the moment and just about to start the final fix.

Its basically a 3 bed house, not that big; budget = not big enough

I'd be interested to hear more about this.

It's something I've been looking into recently, though I can't even get a plot bought so far!

You can see part of the build so far over on the AV forums as im building an av system into the lounge.
