That's a lovely extension and just perfect off the kitchen. It really does look as though it was always there; not always easy to achieve.

The cow and calf ceramic is beautiful too .... very well done to everyone!  :)

He's done a fantastic job, something to be very proud of. And it looks like it will withstand even a hurricane.

Thanks everyone, I've told him what you've all said :happy:  Just the skirting boards to fit and next year in the spring he is going to relay all the yard.  :blink:
I think it is unusual for one person to have so many skills  but its in his blood :lol:

I like this for two reasons.

Firstly because you have taken on the work by yourself, which is exactly how I work and value others that do the same.

And secondly because you have used oak. I'm an oak framer by trade and love to see other peoples work. Very nice to. :)

Wonderful trade Eddie ...... I hope you're still getting plenty of work. People who work with timber always do it because they love it.  :)

Without trying to derail the thread, thanks for the comment. I have just recently completed my 100th oak framed garage!! Sadly work isn't that great at the moment though, and I am also finding the work increasingly heavy and hard. :(

That was one of the reasons we ''retired, ha,ha''  to Cornwall.  OH said he  was getting to old to be clambering about over church roofs all day  and as he worked alone had no one to give him a hand lifting things.

I would love an oak framed house, perhaps when we retire next time :D
Trouble is OH wont pay for labour so I probably wouldn't see it finished ;) :lol:

Hope work picks up for you soon Eddie :)

OH sounds as bad as me.  :D We would get on well. :)

The problem is that any help that you get is next to useless! By the time you have explained things, waited for them to stop texting friends or making phone calls, dropped damaged your tools, you may as well have saved the money and done it quicker and better by yourself.
The downside for me is that I am only 44yrs years old and already have to lift my legs out of bed in the morning, and sit or lay down just to put my socks on. Probably just like OH, my knee and ankle joints are also very much the worse for wear. :(

BTW.. This was my 100th frame. Its nothing flash or fancy, just a simple garage/workshop.

Well if that's not a flash, fancy garage then I'm a Dutchman. :tongue2:  We are just 'umble gardeners on this site. ;)
Cheese makes everything better.
