this might be totally random but here it is, ive been building my own house in anglesey, to move there for retirement,

i bought the land last year. in a place called carmel, located near amlwch,

i have totally built the house by my self, with help from my 2 sons, the only thing i have not done is the brick work and the rendering.

looks as though u have done an amazing job there mate

looks nice

nice.

whats with the doors to no-where? are you going to have a balcony?

Wow very very very nice
I guess building a house yourself makes it feel even more homely

revander is there, i havnt got any up to date pics of the outside. will have soon. it's 2 mile to the nearest pub.
but went round anglesey track and it's brilliant,

i built my bungerlow 3years ago,

Pilot Boat Inn?

wow not that far away. its just in llanerchymedd, so how do you no the pilot boat, with big blue double decker bus.

Mate of mine has a caravan nearby at Brynrefall, we go fishing at Moelfre or Amlwch, stay in the van and go in the pub of an evening. I also visit Wylfa power station now and then on bizz and its handy for some lunch while I do the paperwork.

Nice caravan.

Cheers

im going to have to sell most of my cars, only can get 3 on and a caravan, :bang:

How long you been at it? Looks tidy, it finished or nearly there?

well ive had loads of trouble, plans took about 5months, then brick layer took about 2months and render took a week. and there was a caravan going straight across where i was building the house. so i had to move it, and then there was ceptic tanks under the caravan. then my grandad died and then my nanna. but i started building last year in july. and now its nearly finished, i will add some up to date pictures soon. im up here now. carpet is coming tomorrow, and im doing the flooring down stairs this week i should of finished the inside. then i have to do the outside, it's cost me around £90000 to build, the house that i have in manchester is worth £250000, but is on the market at £230000

the site dosnt come straight up with my house so here is some pictures of it.

As a fellow self builder (ours is about 90% there!) I can only congratulate you and sympathise with you!

Damn hard work, mentally and physically exhausting....But extremely satisfying too!

Respect! :slayer:

thanks mate, ive been a joiner for 32years,

ive got the carpet in upstairs, now the upstairs is finished, add pics saturday.

We have to order the carpets next week....

This is deffo on my agenda sometime in life. I can imagine the satisfaction is huge, and everything can be pretty much how you want it.

Good job mate

i like things nice and simple, when i move to this one, think im going to find a bigger peace of land, and build something real different, i will be spending about half a million on it to, as it will be my retirent house, it will have about 4acres of land, 3 garages, and 1acre have it has a campsite, i no someday ill do it,

pics are on tomz, finished upstairs now.
