What ever we do that’s not the stone on the actual building warrant. We have to reapply. Not surprisingly they charge you for the privilege

Do you have to have the building signed off before you can move in?
Just wondering whether you can put a temporary cover on the porch that could be replaced when you have the funds?

Which is what we will be doing. But the longer sign off takes the more money you have to pay! You only have 3 years from building warrant issue to completion. Then you have to keep buying extensions. First extension gives you 6 months. All other extensions after that are for 3 months. I think it’s about £150 a time! (Robbing bar stewards! ) we will be getting at least one extension. Our warrant ends in August. Due to the fiasco the solicitors made of our land purchase! We had the building warrant slowly ticking it’s time away for just over a month before we could start. Then there was the structural engineer fiasco that stopped the build for another 6 weeks. Then our own stoppages while we made money for the build.

SC I also like it a lot
At the seaside town of Hornsey they have a lot of houses covered in hand sized beach pebbles pushed into render
think that’s what it’s called would that work for you?

It would of been possible if we’d made our foundation a little bigger. Because apparently to do that we need strong foundations and block work. As we were told know we didn’t do that. So we can’t do that now anyway. I’m sure we’ll think of something

A couple of days ago we were stood outside chatting with our neighbours as they were walking their dog.
Breeze got cold and didn’t want to stay outside. Turns out he didn’t want to miss out either.

Would stone'slips' not be appropriate (If you can get such a thing?)I know you can get brick slips but not sure about stone.Awkward if you need to create a cavity though?
RE: The build - Admin - 05-04-2023
Could you create a living wall?
