Looks lovely! I have very much enjoyed reading this and watching a building appear! Congrats

As a newcomer here its nice to see some of these threads in their (near) entirety, feels a bit like cheating though reading them through all at once! Really nice build Paul. Looks great and in a stunning spot it seems. Don't forget, everyone has 20/20 hindsight, it's the foresight we all need glasses for sometimes.
First place we owned was a complete refurb and apart from taking a wall out and plastering/ gas I did it all on my own. For example I did a timber deck when I landscaped the back garden. All the screws were finished in the same direction. Really. Spent so much time on that place getting it to a near 'perfect' finish and the only one who noticed? Me. I've calmed down a lot since then lol.
Maybe you shouldn't be so surprised people are complimentary so don't make that list, enjoy the results. Maybe with a glass or two of your preferred tipple if you get a nice evening. :wink:

Thanks guys

Bm101 - I know what you're saying. My perfectionist tendencies drive my wife nuts but even I have calmed down, as you say. Life's too short mate! And I'm in the right place for my preferred tipple or three!

The list is more a 'lessons learned' thing - ready for my next project ;-)

Slainte!

Paul

Good man. Well in that case fair play! Cheers! 8)

Just some pictures of the inside for the record. Excuse the mess - it was actually a lot worse! Managed to find some second-hand cane furniture locally (5 minutes away!) which will go nicely with the pub table just as soon as we sort the rest of the mess out.

Still haven't lined the windows and it probably won't get done until the Spring now. But who's rushing

Thanks Rodders. It's just a summer house really - Sitooterie is a brilliantly descriptive name given to it by the natives of my adopted home. From Ayrshire to be exact - according to my man on (about) page 2

Glad you like it - we do

 

[Bm101]

Very nice! I think you've done a great job. Done nice work on the interior too Paul. Enjoy it with that dram or two. Cheers!

Ayreshire is a nice place, I worked in Mauchlin about 5 years ago, near the train station site, all granite houses.

:lol: We're surrounded by wood here and have to pay proper money for it. Wish I had access to the no money kind :lol:

Very nice

Do you have heating in it?

 

[Paul200]

Very nice

Do you have heating in it?

Thanks Chris. No, no heating at the moment - but I'm toying with the idea of a log burner in the corner opposite the door (last picture - the bit with no window on it). Don't want to pay silly money though so I'm keeping my eye on local sales sites etc. We've got free access to all the hardwood logs we could ever use from the wood behind us - might as well make the most of it! I quite fancy sneaking up there with a good book, a bottle and a box of matches 8)
