  • Useless letter.

    The councils letter arrived today. It contains no more than was shown on the counciuls website!!

    We will have to go to  the councils offices on Monday.

  • Planning application has been Refused!

    I have been checking the councils website for news on our planning application every few days. This morning it’s showing our application as refused. The reason given is

    The external appearance of the proposed building falls short of the standard required in this location. Its scale, proportions and design are inappropriate and the proposal would be likely to result in detriment to the character and visual amenities of the area.

    What does this mean! Help!

    I hope the councils letter will give more information.

  • Nailed Shauns Finger !

    Yes our first accident while using a nail gun. Shaun was hold the otherside of a post when I fired a nail into it at an agle. To steep an angle ! The nail passed straight through the pad of his finger (ouch)! Amazingly there was almost no blood. I took Shaun back to the house and cleaned the finger and sat Shaun down for rest…
    Its my fault because I didn’t check if Shaun was clear of the firing line !

  • Started building! (Temporary living area)

    We have started to clear the ground for the extension to the storage shed which will be part of the temporary living quarters while we build the main house.
