The first stage has arrived on site and the panels are strategically laid out ready for erection.

Panels start to rise out of the ground and with them the first hints of how the house will look.

A beautiful, calm February day perfect for lifting the trusses into place.  The true size of the house is now becoming clear.

Looking up into the labyrinth of roof trusses shows just how much wood is up there.

A bright green breather membrane now covers the roof.  This allows the roof to breathe once the slates are on allowing moisture out but not in. 

The house is virtually completed now.  All that's needed outside now is a coat of white paint.  The golden glow in this photo is attributed to a beautiful sunny evening rather than paint!

This is the living room with it's wood burning stove.  The windows at the front look out over the loch beyond.

The living room again but from the front looking towards the rear of the property. 

This archway leads from the dining room into the kitchen.  It creates a partition while ensuring that the two rooms also work together.

From the kitchen back through to the dining room with a 15-pane glass door leading through to the spacious entrance area.
