Awesome. Keep the pictures coming, building stuff is interesting me a lot at the moment.

How did you get all the bricks into the back garden (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/huh.gif) AND the mini digger??!

I presume it is going to be a garage extension and whatever that room is on the right? (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/dontknow.gif)

Looks good fella. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/thumbsup.gif)

(http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/offtopic.gif)

So what's the story with breeze blocks? Are they stronger than brick? Why are they mainly used just on the inside or for industrial buildings? Is it because they are cheaper to use and as they are bigger you need less of them, but they are not as attractive as brick, but on inside walls that you will cover anyway and industrial units it doesn't matter? (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/huh.gif)

Something I've always wondered..

Looking good.

Nice amount of space - can never have enough of that. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/up.gif)

Your local building inspector must be a nice fellow - as far as I remember a lead-line can't be within, IIRC, 150mm of a window (at least in M.K, anyway).

By adding a pitched roof to the existing extension to the rear you've obviously gone within that. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/tongue.gif)

You'd probably be surprised.

You could spend £50,000 on an extension yet you'd be (very) lucky to see one fifth of that back on completion.

The best returns are garage conversions and conservatories (generally) but even then it won't add it's full value to the house by just being there.

New-builds have the best return - there's no reason you can't build a house - yourself - for £80,000 and expect to sell it for £200,000+ if planned correctly.

But of course no-one undertakes a project like this with the finished property value in mind - that's why I have a 35' long garage - and that's why Baz's extension is sooo cool !! (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/beavisnbutthead.gif)
