August 2014 I Self Build Homes
Welcome to the August issue of Self Build Homes.
Self Build Homes is the perfect magazine for anyone who is interested in self-building, whether they are thinking about the possibility of starting their own self-build project, are already in the middle of one, or are a pro and have built numerous self-build homes, we have a magazine packed with useful and expert advice.
As always, we have a selection of readers’ homes for you to take a look at, which we hope will be an inspiration to all, plus we have a selection of new products that will not fail to enhance the look of your self-build home, whether that’s choosing a new flooring, or perhaps adding additional space with a loft room or a bespoke, oak frame structure.
Now that summer is officially here, this month’s issue focuses on additions to the garden. Whether you want to think about landscaping your new garden, some new decking, or feeling more adventurous, by planning to have your very own swimming pool installed, we have some great ideas to get you started.
Finally, this month, we have £2,000 worth of competition prizes up for grabs. So don’t forget to enter to be in with a chance of winning a new bathroom suite from Ideal Standard, or some beautiful flagstone flooring from Indigenous.
Until next month……
Vicki Watson Editor, Self Build Homes Magazine
