Shows!

We will be exhibiting at the Scottish Home Improvement and Self Build Show on the 30^th April and 1^st May - this Saturday and Sunday coming.  The show takes place at the Royal Highland Showground at Ingliston, near Edinburgh Airport.

As usual, please drop by and see us, and bring your plans to discuss them in person.

Happy Easter!

It's just over a month until the Scottish Homebuilding and Renovating Show at the SECC in Glasgow.  We'll be there on stand 421.  You can register for free tickets by following the link to the right.

There will be no updates to the blog for the next couple of days, as we are closed for Good Friday and Easter Monday.  Fingers crossed for good weather over the Easter weekend!

The office will be open again on Tuesday 26th April.

Border Union Show

We will be attending the Border Union Show at Kelso on 29th and 30th July 2011.  This will be a new departure for us; although we have done many shows we have always been safely indoors in a heated exhibition hall - it'll be a new experience to be at the mercy of the elements!

We have our fingers crossed for good weather, and will definitely have a roof on the show stand for this one!

Edible SIPs!

Just because it's Friday ... the gingerbread witch goes green! 

Check out this link to an edible SIPs house! crafted out of crackers and royal icing.

It's very tempting to have a go at making one  ...

SIPs Kits

Progress is also being made on the SIPs kit for this new build in Northumberland.  More photographs to follow as the kit nears completion.
