my barn conversion

Answer the burning question... how much does a barn conversion cost? (Pt 1: the building, Pt 2: architects & plans and Pt 3: the conversion)

Keep track of what's happening with my Progress Updates.

If you read only one book before designing your conversion or renovation, then I recommend that you make it this one.

Read more about - Lime mortar, Insulation, Insulation, Insulation, VAT on conversions and managing woodland for fuel.

Tiling tips - learn from my mistakes!

Around an ongoing barn conversion project, this website draws together advice, information and references to aid all would-be and current barn and non-residential building converters and renovators.

Our approach takes on board 'healthy house', sustainable, ecological & environmental concepts to as great a degree as timescales and budgets allow.

A couple more useful sites that I’ve used recently and can recommend.

Scavengers
Scavengers

A nice idea - 'Scavengers offers a unique bespoke service to source and reclaim that period piece of furniture you've been looking for. Baths, beds,sinks, taps, fireplaces, mirrors, chandeliers, radiators, garden furniture, doors and much, much more.'


So if you want something antique but don’t know where to start looking then get on to Scavengers and they may be able to find something to fit the bill for you. I bought a chandelier from Scavengers which despite having a bit of a battering in transit should work well in the barn. I would never have found myself rummaging through antique shops or trawling ebay.

A great choice of lighting at low prices. Some of the quality isn't the best but you get what you pay for. I especially like the order tracking that lets you keep track of exactly where your order is - right down to links to the Parcel Force website that let you see who signed for the items on delivery.

If you enjoyed that post, then read these...
