Oh, no! Not another bloody housebuild thread!
Yes. This is yet another housebuild thread, but with a slight difference. Most other threads start with a picture of the land and progress, stage by stage, as the house is built.
This is similar to such great works of literature as "Anna Karenina" and "Great Expectations", that were serialised - over four years in the case of the former, and over a one year for the latter. Whereas "To Kill a Mocking Bird" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", were completed before their writers had found a publisher.
My house is now 99% complete. The remaining one per cent representing cleaning and tidying up now that the construction gang have left the site.
Over the next weeks or months you will see various photographs taken at the site. If you wish to make a comment (disparaging or otherwise) about any of the desgn or construction details feel free to do so. But it will be too late for me to do anything about it. But remember, if one day I find myself a guest in your own house, I am far too poilte a person to make any negative comments about the contents of your bookshelves or your CD collection - not even if there is a proliferation of ABBA and Jeffrey Archer.
Anyway, even though I had an uncle who claimed to have been responsible for the building of Basildon, I know nothing about the construction business at all. I also know next to nothing about posting photographs on this website, and you will , therefore, see nothing more from me for a few more days.
