Back Again in Gorgeous Gilnahirk! ❤️

"You can take the boy out of Gilnahirk but you can't take Gilnahirk out of the boy" Being back home again reminded me of this saying, maybe you've heard this before? In my case it's Gilnahirk, a place I still love and feel at home. Here I grew up as a boy, as a teen and then a young adult making my way in the world and beginning my career in Architecture over 35 years ago. Well it was great to be back, this time to begin a new project by starting with a measured survey of a bungalow in gorgeous Gilnahirk. ❤️

Drawings have been lodged with the Planning Service through the Planning Portal and can be viewed online. A Building Control Application has also been lodged.

I was contacted and appointed to help Mrs. C only two weeks ago and already both applications have been lodged for approval, the builder is on site and starting the work.

How speedy is that? Quicker than lightning me! 🤩🍾

Looking forward to seeing my drawings turning into reality!
