Just was suggesting that the back looks a bit plain jane compared to all the other fine ideas you've put into the place but maybe just my personal taste. Is oil heating fairly cheap in the UK as fuel oil here is cost prohibitive. I have a wood/oil combo furnace but the oil gets used very seldom and will be replaced this summer with a wood/electric unit as our hydro is way cheaper than the oil option. Right now I hear with wood pellets and supplemental electric! Looks great though! JIM

Sometimes you can have to much of a good thing ,and it can be a little overwhelming I've had to restrain myself a little there are some lovely fireplaces made with pebbles almost like a cobble wall , next time maybe .they are o well insulated they you barely have to heat them.we have ground source and solar in the log houses so I've gone through the options.this is the fire place it's a little more subtle than you realise at first glance.local builders used to supply their own manhole covers ,they're becoming collectable and we do have a little poetry engraved on the surround. But keep sending the ideas I'm a compulsive ideas robber ;)

Thanks Tony,I suppose we are proud ,but it's more the sense of having some sort of a vision and achieving it ,that's always nice.but the proof will be if our guests enjoy it .but your post made me look back at some earlier pictures ,I'd almost forgot lol

You've done a lot of work since Jill and me were there Hugh and from the results you can be really proud of you and your families efforts

Looks great Hugh and that hot tub looks so inviting. Do you have a new puppy too ?
