This website records the project to rebuild the family home during 2019. It is a “Blog” so by convention, the newest postings appear at the top, and the oldest at the bottom.

You can also see entries listed by category (eg “Kitchen”) by clicking on one of the topics listed down the right hand side of this page.

THE VIRTUAL TOUR

The website holds a virtual tour of the house – some video around the outside and some photos, room by room, around the inside.

To see the tour, look at the right hand column (on PC or MAC… or scroll down on Ipad or phone) and see a long list of topics under a heading of “Category Selection”.  Near the bottom of that list you will see “Tour”.  Click that and it will take you directly there – ‘advert free’, I think.

The Disappearing Rogue Roof Tile

When our Team are doing the roof, it was typically raining every day – pouring for some.

The challenge dealing with the roof tiles that we had on site (dark grey and charcoal colours) was that when wet, they look identical.

As a result, we have one unintended rogue roof tile at the front (top photo), over the “clever roof”, which looks fine when wet – but stands out like a sore thumb in the dry.

We shall address that in the next month or so…. now that the dry weather is here.

Drain Cover Release

The drive and patio have smart drain/manhole covers which fit flush into the surface and carry inserts to make them “disappear” into their surroundings.

I thought to open them there would be a key, but no….

If you see in the photo at each side there is a cover that you prize up with a screwdriver (per Nck) – then T-bar handle pops up. There is one each side of the cover – so mystery solved – that’s how you lift them off for maintenance.
