We aint'nt dead

It's true this blog has been very quiet. Looking around, this seems very common - there's a point in many self-builds where the mountain of things to worry about overwhelms our ability to string coherent sentences together.

At that point, ask an average self-builder how it's going and you'll see them pull a strange face - half optimistic, half rabbit-in-the-headlights scared - and they'll reel off a string of words that have no meaning: "shedding membrane", "incompatible levels", "re-order the cladding", "cistern frames won't fit".. mutter, mutter, mutter.

So the blog grinds to a halt.

Rest assured though that we're still here, the house is in fine shape and even if we've not been talking about it, we have taken a lot of photos. Coherent thought is returning, and I hope to put together some posts on windows, the joys of wiring, the horror of plumbing and which gizmos actually work in a home.
