Well, the big moment arrived...after nearly 18 months of clearing the site and getting the relevant planning consents, followed by 9 months of building, we finally have a house to call home.
We have a lot left to do over the coming months (and years!) both inside and out, but we are thrilled to be in and its amazing to be finally be living in the house we have dreamt about for so long.
Its difficult to remember now what it looked like when we first bought the site (see posts from 2012/2013) with trees and brambles growing out of every building and mud everywhere, but all the hard work has definitely been worth it.
We really couldn't have done it without all our friends and family- so thank you all, you know who you are.. :-)
