Off grid house build Orkney

Hahaha how did you guess? She also sits pretty well next to all my carhartt dungarees too.

@velosaurus thank you! We’re really surprising ourselves with how well it’s coming together to be honest, everything we’ve bought has eithe looked too big or too small for the space, but then when it sits there it just fits nicely. Really chuffed with the combo of new and home made on the kitchen too and I think the floor tiles play a huge part too, think it would feel like a much different space with carpet or laminate.
Oh nice, what brought you up, it’s a nice part of the world there. Haha like you say though, the winter creeps up and autumn of mild and wet seems to last forever..

@almac68 thanks for the support, guess if it was simple everyone would be doing it.. this last couple years has taught me patience but also a bit of resignation unfortunately.. still confident that things will happen, just not in the timescale or with the urgency I’ve hoped. She spent the next day under the duvet, think some of it was fear but most of it was being knackered after spending all night roaming around and exploring

@TW it’s a fisheye so a bit deceptive, but there’s way more floor space with the kitchen in than we pictured. I thought the back of the couch would be close and we’d be squeezing past it but there’s a big gap behind it.

@Sergeant_Pluck thank you so much, it’s been such a fight at points and the next few weeks are going to be working on things or packing up where we’re renting, really looking forward to the big breath out when we’re in. I know there will still be to do lists, especially in the workshop, but not with the same urgency.

Got these big bastards bolts for hanging the big lights. Chunkier than I’d though but won’t have to worry about the lights going anywhere. Here’s a photo of it with a 3 second shutter on the night of the full moon, it was so bright the other night
