Hi,
I was directed to this site by MikeG. We are members of the 4x4 Community Forum where Mike has been posting some details of his building. Your methods of building is very different to what we use in SA and I wanted to follow the discussion by people who are au fait with your construction methods. I have not been disappointed. Over here we build with bricks and mortar and pay very little attention to energy saving and insulation although this is changing in view of the energy constraints we are facing at the moment.
I have a daughter who lives in London and we visit regularly. As an avid DIY'er I do a lot of repairs at her home and the start of any job is always trying to understand how your construction methods work. They are moving to a bigger house later in the year and there will definitely be some building to do. Hopefully I will be able to put the knowledge that I pick up here to good use.
As a DIY'er I have tried my hand at most things but my particular interest has been metalwork. The woodworking that I have done is very basic but I plan to improve these skills. I have already picked up a wealth of knowledge since following and subsequently joining this forum.
Looking forward to being here
