Well done George and Sarah, congratulations on what you’ve achieved so far, and on your marriage and baby. Please post an update after the next stage of work. Good luck

[@Barzol636]

good for them it's their forever home and it is just the way they wanted it ! I really hope they enjoy their home especially after the hugh amount of time and effort they put in , they should be so proud of themselves

George used his professional skill as a stonemason to create feature staircases, and rightly so. I hope that they can complete the build and give these forms a function, so they are no longer stairs to nowhere.

George's 'project manager' hoodie is a nice touch 😂

[@leah__gail]

That is beautiful!

George needs to start using some respiratory filter when grinding the stone otherwise he’s going to have some serious health issues in his future - could learn a lot about this from his mate the blacksmith

I was thinking the same thing .....

[@steveroperfilms]

....and me.

[@fletcherchambliss1590]

The wedding deadline stressed me out. I can’t imagine having to live through that as they were building!

[@jennifertoliver9546]

Its lovely, enjoy building your family and homestead!

[@rrain3375]

Very luxurious.

I know that there is sound engineering and physics behind those interlocking stone stairs without mortar or bolts and that they are probably sturdier than the conventional stairs I use everyday. However there is no way in the world I would climb those stairs

God ! How they put pipe down is so wrong. You never lay down thisway how they do it! You just start roll it to in. Than it goes smoothly in.

Not sure it's a great idea to have the (potential) children's room on the other end of the house... ETA: evidently they realized that and made the change. The decor is definitely not my taste, but to each their own I guess.

I think it’s wonderful 🎉

Unlimited money

[@nicolad8822]

Nope.

Tragic to see old buildings renovated as modern homes.
