Welcome to my blog

We moved to Ireland with the notion of building our "dream" home in May 2007 after purchasing the site earlier on that year. Mr C is Irish and originally from Limerick but he remains in the UK during the week, his job is running www.cruise.co.uk and earning the bucks that will hopefully allow us to "live the dream."

It's taken us almost two years but ground will be broken on the site by the end of May 09!! A lot of blood, sweat & loads of tears (all mine!) have gone into this project already, we left a fabulous house behind in Newcastle...and now for my Kevin McLeod bit, "can the new build can live up to my expectations and the old house we left behind"? I'm not sure...keep watching my blog and you'll find out!!

Progress Report......

A busy morning on site


laying the final  ground floor underfloor heating pipes in the family room




concrete to finish the ground floor to follow this week




meanwhile men on stilts in the garage skimming the ceiling




The roof is taking shape nicely


Windows are due to be fitted on 27th October......



So there's still a whole lot of roofing to be completed between now and then!


....and finally, a cute gatecrasher from next door!
