The house as we left it.100 viewsIt took 16 days of hard work to get to this stage. Although it is not finished it is habitable for the lads. They are staying upstairs at the moment and once the walls have been screeded and it has dried out they will be moved into their new home downstairs. It is a fantastic feat to get it this far from nothing in 4 weeks. Everyone in the area was staggered at how quickly it had "grown".
