The final Velux window goes in, but the roof doesn't quite get finished.

So near to finishing the roof, just the end section of slates to go, but looking so much better than with cement tiles!













The fourth Velux is in and upstairs is so light and airy - it's almost a shame to put in the room divisions. The en suite shower room now has this great view out over the fields to the Downs and forest, looking over the garden room extension.

How odd that Velux dont make a bathroom window in this smaller size, although there are bigger versions. Are you listening, Velux?

How much better that extension will look soon, clad with Hardiplank 'weatherboarding' and how much better insulated it will be too.

Although the heating will be delivered by conventional radiators, the geothermal ground loop will be delivering very cost effective heating, both here and throughout the rest of the house. With the double glazing, and taking advantage of the south facing aspect, we hope to achieve very efficient heating in a very pleasant living environment.
