Buy the end of the day most of the external panels and Oak was in place.

The crane was on site yesterday and today lifting some of the huge chamber beams in place.

Oak Frame

I have ordered the Tudor roof tiles today, I have looked at others including Keymer which I thought just worked out to expensive and Midland Tile and Slate which I woried about the quality and as I have already had the Tudors on the garages and garden building I stuck with them.

So it is all coming together now but I still have to decide on heating, I know we want underfloor heating but I cant make my mind up between conventional gas with a condensing boiler or a ground source heat pump. My heart says go for the heat pump but the wallet can make the sums work and to cap it all I had a guy out from www.skuddair.com who specialise in Air Source pumps which sit in between both in terms of initial outlay and recoup time.

Ahhgggggggg!!!
