    Nice job so far m8.Hidden Content
    You certainly picked the right weather for it but you need to get the roof on before Tuesday if the forecasters are right.
    Then you will be able to test if it is all waterproof or not?

    I always fancied having a conservatory, but I'm sure the bloody kids would knock the 2 storey stilts out from under it! Hidden Content Hidden Content

    Re: home build conservatory

    Nice job DD. Hidden Content
    I look forward to seeing the pics of the fully finished and decorated job.
    I wonder how much you will have saved in the end, as compared to a so called "professional" supply and fit?
    To say nothing of the peace of mind you get from knowing the whole job was done properly and the sense of satisfaction from seeing it appear 'from the ground up' as it were.

    Re: home build conservatory

    That is a hell of a saving!
    One of the reasons I thought to ask, was because I saw something on telly where "professionals" had charged people a LOT of money and then done a bloody awful job!
    I had to really feel for the people, who had retired and decided it would be nice to sit out in a conservatory and enjoy their garden.
    So they gave a large lump of their savings to some bleedin crooks who made a real pigs ar$e of the job, so it leaked and creaked and even caused the wall of the house to let water seep in!
    Some people have no shame!
    In these hard times there are always conmen making a quick quid. Hidden Content
    So the only option to get a proper job done nowadays is to do it yourself, if you can, and you are showing what can be achieved.
    Otherwise your better off just stuffing your money in your mattress! Hidden Content
