Maybe does sound alot, but its not really. its still a house and its still to get the brick work round it. this way is just so much quicker than a traditional house. and every bit as good but i dont want to start the debate again about which is best as i posted a while ago when we decided we were gonna go 4 it and it was a mixed reaction. some like the idea and some dont!opinions are welcome as thats why i posted it.!

its 110k for a timber frame house completely finished! theres 16k for a kitchen, 10k for slate roof, 4k for windows and doors, 12k for underfloor heating and geothermal ground source etc, 6k for electrician, 6k for bathrooms, theres been 24k in timber, 2k in drainage/septic tank, 3k in concrete etc it all mounts up! timber frame generally isnt much cheaper than traditional build but it is definately quicker, and as i want in for christmas time is important.

110k to me sounds a lot for a shit ridden flea infested fuck pad of a 1 bedroom flat/appartment which in reality will be about the size of tony_turbo's fucking bedroom.
Good on you Tony, very impressed, especially at the underfloor heating layout, i have known people to obsess about having this application and then installing a very poor quality system.

I don't think anyone was being negative about the project, just surprised at the costs.
As above.

Looking good
the funny thing about timber frame is that most of the people who slag them off woudnt even have a clue it was a timber framed house when its finished, as even traditional builds these days sound hollow when the walls are tapped due to dot and bad plaster internally and the use of studwork for the internal walls upstairs on virtually all new builds.
Its great building your own cave isnt it, going through it myself at the mo

If it's a large developer house built in the last 15 years it's probably a brick skinned timber frame build.
My 20 year old house has straw internal walls, as do thousands of others built over the previous 20-30 years.

Beutiful plot of land at a great price, and the house sits well. Once all the landscaping is done it will be superb.
We built our timber-frame house in 1991 and it's still standing. I hadn't even heard of underfloor heating way back then but it will go in any new house I ever build.
People forget that the Scandinavians have been building this way for decades, and we enjoy extremely high levels of insulation as standard, and that's only going to get more important.
