A farmer's dwelling - looks interesting.

Wonder how many people will become farmers to get around PP

Sounds like a plan to me.

"The Farmhouse is no longer connected to the farm land"

Could that be because you sold the farm land in the middle for massive profit to villagers who wanted to build homes there?

I'm liking this a lot.

I tend not to take the high ground about follicle issues however...

Timothy Bennett could do with a hair cut;)

I thought they'd hired Phil Spector

Could look a little bit like the local DIY superstore
Will be interesting to see how it turns out.

I like the proposed zinc roofing. Conventional tiles look so boring in this country. When I travel around Europe, I always enjoy the different types of roofing available. Colours, materials, rake/inclination/angle and overall size (thinking of those Swiss/Alpine cottage types).

In Krakow there's a lot of red roofing. Not sure what it's made from. Looks plastic, it's so clean but it couldn't be, could it?

On this particular Grand Design, I like that it's not a standard Apex or flat roof. I hate flat roofs (or is it "rooves"?).

I think that would be more of a miracle project than completing the house on budget!

Kevin's not fussy. He's eyeing up the designer.

Best build of the series so far.

It's nice to see a client that knows what they want and don't keep changing their mind although ordering the glass so far in advance was a bit risky.

[sleep envy]

and using local trades too

shame more clients aren't like this

Sweaty Betty the blacksmith was strangely attractive and frightening at the same time.

I'll hold off calling it the best build ..till final credits.

But its nice not hearing 'ECO' at he beginning and end of every sentence

Have to say, it looks like it's going to come out as a lovely building and well crafted. It should sit well in the land and be a credit to the owners, builders and architect.

Yep,

It's great if money is no object isn't it?

[ncs]

Looking very good so far.

As said, its good to see quality craftsmen & women using quality materials.
