That’s for the feedback! Still trying to find what works best, we will definitely be doing more videos like this 👌

Hi both I was thinking how many people would be prepared to go through this sort of discomfort , and hard work and just opt for a new build . Obviously the reward will be a well constructed home , and a saving of probably 50% for something equivalent . My aim was to be mortgage free by 40 , which was only possible by doing what you wonderful folks are doing . Kind regards as always 👍

I don’t think there are many people out there that can see past all the hard work to visualise the end goal. We are both lucky to have supportive family’s who we visit often for good cooked meals and sometime a refreshing shower in a warm house! 😂 as you say, the saving is the main goal as although we have good jobs we are doing the work paycheck to paycheck. Are you mortgage free now or are you on track to reach that goal? We aren’t in a rush to be mortgage free but we do want to end up with an additional property to sell for retirement if we need it. Thank you again for the kind comment 😊

Well at 70 I’ve have been mortgage free since the age of 50 , so didn’t quite make my target . Although I have a nice property , my big mistake was not buying other properties . But we did invest money in to pensions , which enabled me to retire at 59 and my wife at 50 . But now I would probably not go down that pension route . You would need a pension pot today in excess of £250 thousand to be responsible comfortably , so really it doesn’t now make much sense . Anyway I’m far from qualified to be giving out advice, to anyone 😂 . Kind regards 👍

Omgosh guys!! What a transformational stage you’re at now! I do not miss air fryer only cooked meals on our garden chairs but at the time being able to do it inside was a milestone. How amazing to see a kitchen albeit temporary &&&& hanging lights!! How exciting!

Also love the arch idea a lot of people don’t realise they are back in fashion haha but I would second what everyone else is saying. Our living area is also open plan and it is necessary to shut our doors on the washing machine when it’s on!

haha I know! it's so exciting! finally feel like we are getting somewhere. roll on the summer months ! yee I do love an arch for aesthetics but ye deffo need to be able to shut the door!

Amazing progress considering you are living in it and holding down jobs - amazing, well done. I don't think you need ptfe on compression fittings as the olive creates the seal.

Thank you so much! Rhys just likes to be extra cautious as he’s not a plumber 🙈😂 so far, no leaks 👍

Arch is quite a dated look, I would go with a door to stop noise from the washing machine while you’re chilling.

I think the exact same, good point about the noise I will tell Natasha and hopefully sway her to a normal door 😂😂

@@Selfbuild_TheJenkins Just replied saying the same about noise. Defo put a door on.

Don't do an arch way. With a proper door you can close it when the washing machine is on to keep the sound down when say its spinning and utility rooms can get cluttered. Great to shut the door on that 🙂
