In this one our kitchen extension and ground floor reno gets a costly hole in the wall, and some spendy steels to hold everything up. Also there’s some damp remedial work, insulation, plastering, underfloor heating, windows, a bathroom and a kitchen… It was a busy few weeks; enjoy!

A usual, I've left the sponsor read in this otherwise ad-free member video in case it was of interest to members; it's in its own chapter so it's easy to skip if it's not for you.

What particular video lessons are you using on Skillshare for Fusion360, Peter?

I did a “Fusion 360 Mastering the basics - Ultimate beginners guide” by Jamie G. It’s about an hour long and a good introduction to the absolute basics. There are a few others on there as well that look interesting too, but I haven’t found time for them yet. 👍

I find it fascinating the differences in house construction between the US and UK. You and the Mrs are troopers for going through almost a year of construction. I think with the scale of work done, it was a pretty quick build.

Thanks Paul. The actual build was just shy of 5 months - at least that’s how long we were out of the house for, and there was a couple of months work to do before we could consider it ‘finished’. Not that anything is ever truly finished of course! 😂

Hmmm...no vapor barrier needed under that insulation in the rebuild area? Or maybe done off camera?

I wasn’t on site frequently enough to document everything. 👍
