As 2022 rattles forward we have finally had some new photos of some of our 2021 projects in all their glory
Eco-renovation – part VIII
So – we have been working super hard this month so far as we have deadlines bearing down on us (ie. the clients would like to move into the main house – EEK!) – there have been a lot of alterations and variations which have extended our deadlines – not the least of which has been constructing a complicated barrel dormer …
Eco Renovation Part VII
