Build a house

[hard top]

Get some electric sun blinds on the construction above the terrace and that would be great.

Grand designs?

Grand designs?

Lol watched to many of those ,we would like something practical but original with a bit of the character of the barn as well it’s the most tricky thing because we have a very small budget

 

[miller1098]

I think we have to put a sliding door somewhere as well

I like this shower head in a log I think I could do that but practically indoors it might be awkward

What about a water trough bath I could probably cast one out of concrete

Liking some of your ideas a lot mate. Keep the thread running. Going to be really interesting watching this.

You mean like the car park thread ?

 

[Lazzzydog]

I am not sure about a door with so many gaps on a toilet or an old galvanised trough as a bath but I love all the other ideas. Please keep it coming as the build progresses.

Just looked at the car park thread lol it was 3 years in April https://zroadster.org/threads/build-your-own-car-park.7279/

And here is what we managed. With a bit of work and a few grey hairs lol each one tells a story

Seeing some of your previous stuff I recon this is going to be one unique house, good luck with the build I will follow with interest as I would love to do a project like this.

Don't forget the water turbine @miller1098 ....

I’m trying to forget that .Thanks buddy

@miller1098 I'm sorry if I'm touching a raw nerve raising this, but I was genuinely interested when you first mentioned the project. I've searched your posts looking for some technical comment on what went wrong with the project but can't see any. As an engineer with some outside knowledge of renewables and a genuine personal interest I'd be keen to see some detail.
However, I'll fully understand if you'd prefer not to discuss, "sod off" is always an acceptable answer.

Its ok the consultant we employed was in my view and in the view of 2 others we comissioned incompetent. Unfortunately we found out a little late .

I'm guessing he did the design calcs and got them wrong?

Some fantastic ideas Hugh,the one I would go for as it would incorporate the old barn as a whole is;

Love the wood features.

I like part of this but its not quite unique enough. But who knows we might end up very ordinary lol

Only needs 4 things....Roof, doors, Electricity and a car lift.

And a beer fridge!

 

[andyglym]

Think of a stairs something like this only right in the middle of the room and straightView attachment 75843
I really like this beam on the outside View attachment 75844
Also something like this only with steel rsj and zink roof with timber cladding View attachment 75845

That second one is the mutts nuts.

I think we all know that's not going to be the case, however it turns out it certainly won't be ordinary.
