Welcome and thank you for taking the time to show interest in my blog!
The purpose of this blog is to document a significant journey in our lives (Tim & Fliss) as we embark upon our self build dream in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside.
Project managing my way through the build, hopefully, I can provide insight into the highs and lows of a self build, what is happening and when and how we are feeling throughout.
I also hope to share with you some of the skills I learn along the way and the companies and trades that will be making the build possible.
I will also be tweeting @fortyacresbuild for those on twitter!

A little bit about me...
My name is Tim Benson, I am 34 years young and I run our local family garage business, Oldfields Garage Services Ltd in Leominster. I have two wonderful children aged 11 & 10 who live with there mum in South Wales.
After starting my working life in the motortrade at the Hereford VW dealership, I gained a HND from Hereford Tech College and a Degree in Business Administration from Cardiff University. I then went back to work again in an IT company that went bankrupt, a cosmetic surgery company, Glamorgan and Swansea Universities and now I'm back home where I was brought up in Leominster. I am a keen sports fan, playing (well trying to) football twice a week and watching as much as Fliss will allow in between soaps and stuff you learn from.

My partner in crime, Fliss, is a Hairdresser @ Renaissence in Leominster and will be helping me through it all, keeping me sane, putting up with my grumps and keeping me in check!!
What an inspiring journey you’re sharing, Tim & Fliss! Building in the countryside must feel both exciting and overwhelming at times. From what I’ve seen, having a direct supplier of construction materials like TopMost can really ease the stress fewer delays and more control over costs. Wishing you smooth progress as the project unfolds!
