Bruce's Big Build

May

Suffering with a very painful back today but made a good start on getting the garage blockwork up to damp course level. I also accepted an offer on our house today which is great news and one less thing to worry about.

Bruce's Big Build

Bruce Harper is the Managing Director of dwanged.com, the surplus building materials marketplace.

Bruce's Big Build is the story of his self-build project in rural Scotland. The Big Build is a 5 bedroom, low-carbon, sustainable family home, in which heavily-discounted surplus materials are being used wherever possible. Super-insulated throughout, with under-floor ground-source heating, the timber-framed house takes on a traditional farm cottage appearance at the front and boasts a very modern rear aspect from where a full-height wall of glass offers outstanding views along the local hills.
