Right,
I'm about to self build my first home. A two bedroom bungalow (1 storey house for non-uk readers). As I've been preparing for this I have come across one or two self build diary's and they seemed informative, educational and helpful. I'll try to include a similar level of detail in the hope that this blog is useful to others.
The plot where I will be building is in the Midlands (England). The property will have an overall floor area of around 75m2. With neither of the bedrooms having a dimension smaller than 3.3 metres. I consider this generous for a newbuild. Others I have come across, especially built by developers have smaller bedrooms. The kitchen will also be big enough for a table and chairs to fit comfortably in. Another feature which is surprisingly lacking from newbuilds. They all seem to include lounge/dining rooms. Which generally aren't big enough for both.
I'll add photos sometime soon. All I have done up to now is cleared the vegetation ready for the site to be scraped off, then I can set out the footprint and the fun begins!
Enjoy...

Keeping a blog is a great idea, just be aware you might not always find the time - or feel like it - to write ;-)
Images of "before and after" always work well to show what you're up against and how you've tackled things. Looking forward to see the first few of the actual grounds
