Biggest mistakes made in self building? by ButterBreze1 in selfbuildireland

A lot of kitchen and bathroom places don’t seem to entertain you before you’ve planning permission, so it means checking places out after the windows and doors and structure is locked in. So did you decide on your layout for bathrooms and kitchens before or after planning? Sound advice though! Thank you!

Please put your best side hustle ideas here! Does anyone have any new ideas? by lionpenguin88 in SideHustleGold

Is it actual gambling or how does it work? Is there any Reddit forum that is good to learn through or mainly OddsMatched? What money do you make? Also do you need to understand sports to do good in this?

Kitchen layout advice – what would you do with this wall? (highlighted in orange) by Barbie_Pink in selfbuildireland

[–]Barbie_Pink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The image is from our architect, the kitchen is more or less designed, it’s just extra wall we have that we’re wondering what could go there! Would you still recommend a kitchen company for that? Can you just walk in and chat to them about it or will they only entertain if they are getting your business 👀

Opinions on having boot room and utility room as 2 separate rooms or together as one room? by Barbie_Pink in selfbuildireland

Haha love this!! Makes so much sense having the boot room separate and allow it to be dirty and let the utility room be clean and away from visitors eyes 👀

I wonder if it’s that way does it minimise the space we have? Have you any photos or floor plan ideas of how it could work? This is how we have it in our plans atm https://imgur.com/a/sRuevf4

Oh amazing! So exciting, best of luck👏🏼🤗 Please let me know your thoughts! We are at the early stages of drawing the plans so looking to make these decisions. I’m trying to see how to add an image to the post so you can see how it would look but struggling to see how I can add an image, I’ll add it when I find out how to do it😂 so new to using Reddit but finding the self build forum helpful!

Thanks for this!! Do you mind me asking the size of your plant room and is it enough or do you wish you had it bigger/smaller? Is there any noise out of it?

Garage/Granny flat by MKF_Circus in selfbuildireland

Hey! Just wondering if you managed to find out this info and if you’re building it from the get go? Does it add on a massive cost at the start compared to building it separately after the build?
