And I haven't had time to update anything on this thread either, since I was off on a business/ holiday for 2 weeks, and most of it happened then, and I've been trying to catch up with my life on return!

I didn't realise it would go up quicker than it takes me to build a house out of Lego. Than halfway through the framing, we realised that the heating and cooling plans hadn't been completed, and the return air voids needing adding in. So using a paint app on my mobile phone from a hotel bathroom, I managed to draw and convey to them where the voids should go (isn't technology great nowadays?)

It's very much starting to look like an actual house!

The trusses seemed to take a day or two longer for our crew, but understandable as it looks complicated.

Just standard aluminium awning windows. Black frames on white walls, and white frames on dark walls. Plus sliding stacker doors, and a window splashback for the kitchen.

I think awnings are a good choice. We were originally going to specify sliding windows (but upgraded 'Signature' versions), but after we checked our samples at the window supplier and compared the different types we changed to awnings. I like that with the awnings they have proper compression seals, instead of brush seals of the sliders. Also we liked how you could have the window partly open and not worry as much about rain and security etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here 4 14309 Dear all, Requesting your help in relation to a CDC code.
