Very nice work. I like the Oak stairs and the way it floats above the ground floor with the open risers.

Ballustrading is simple and looks great.

On the painted stairs though,  I would have gone for a different handrail set up. As Its painted it may look shabby after a while with use!

A hardwood one would have looked better.Probably the clients choice though....

Stairway looks great !  Kitchen looks good.
On the wall unit are those air pipes that have to be hidden ? 

Looks great thanks for sharing

 

[ldmillar1981]

Was clients choice on painted handrail but to be honest they dont use it.

This is the outside of the first house, 1400M of oak cladding, flemish bond brickwork on ground floor, block internal skin, timber frame first floor:

Thank you Kreg,

It is what we call an SVP (Soil and Vent Pipe), the foul drain line requires by regulation, a vent to the roof at one end of the run, behind the MDF boxing this rises up and goes through the roof.

Cheers

Think the lawn needs a bit of weed and feed

I do love the look of the extention, i wouldnt mind building mine like that. Hows costs compare to bricks n mortar?

 

[woodguy7]

Yea, that extension is kinda like the garden cubes !  Very smart.

 

[ldmillar1981]

Brick and mortar would be cheaper, but it was an Eco project, it's a super performance timber frame, filled with a product called pava flex, then wrapped in another called pava therm, then building paper, battons and then the cladding.

The cladding on that one was locally sourced chestnut, came from a coppice 10miles away.

 

[Deansocial]

I kinda thought the materials would cost more but means a better build and means i can do it myself

Me too Dean, I'm planning a small single storey to my place and was thinking of going down the timber frame route. Wouldn't have to bother with brickies then.

all looks very nice.

I like the wenge treads stairs and the shadow gap around it just a shame the plasterer is crap at plastering.

Best to avoid them type if you can!  5 inch out  they consider as bang on.

LOL, there was a Brickie in my workshop one day & I was marking a size on a bit of wood with a marking knife & a steel rule & he was like, WTF,,,,,  we work millimetres, they work inches  [big grin]. Quite common to be marking in half mills.
