Reservoir to Home

PLANNING PERMISSION. FINALLY. 🎉
After everything we've been through, seeing that approval notice was an unforgettable moment.
Getting planning permission was hitting the starting gun.
But before anyone could start transforming The Khaleesi, we had to turn an excavated reservoir into a construction site — and, naturally, it wasn't quite as simple as we'd hoped.

🎬 The final episode of this chapter is now live on YouTube.

Come and see what happened next.

WE HAVE IT. 😱
After months of surveys, reports, meetings, uncertainty and more paperwork than we ever imagined…
we finally got planning permission for The Khaleesi.
But there's a problem.
We thought this was the moment we'd finally be able to start building.
We were wrong.
The final episode of this chapter is coming tomorrow…
And this is where things really start to change.

51 people supported our planning application. Not one objected.


And honestly, we still can't quite believe it.

But the interesting part isn't really the number. It's how we got there.


We knocked on our neighbours' doors, listened to their concerns, invited them onto the site and tried to show them what we were actually hoping to create.

This episode is probably less about planning permission than any episode we've made so far.

It's about trust.

🎬 New episode is live now.

Would you knock on every neighbour's door before submitting a planning application? 👀

When we started this project, we knew our plans could make some people nervous.
There were already proposals for 3,000 new houses nearby.

And now we were asking our neighbours to support our plans to turn an underground reservoir into our forever home.

So we decided not to wait for the council to introduce us.

We knocked on their doors ourselves.

Tomorrow's episode is about what happened next…
New episode tomorrow. ❤️

🎬 NEW EPISODE IS LIVE!
 
This episode completely changed the way we think about planning permission.
 
It wasn't just paperwork.
 
It became a journey of discovering the reservoir itself.
 
We also reveal just how much we had to invest before anyone would even decide whether we could build.
 
We'd love to know what surprises you most after watching.

🎬 NEW EPISODE IS LIVE!
Sometimes the hardest part of any dream isn't building it...
It's helping other people see what you can already see.
This episode tells the story of the giant house wrap, our Open Days, and the moment our neighbours finally understood the vision for The Khaleesi.
It's one of my favourite episodes so far because it's really about people, not construction.
We'd love to know what you think once you've watched it.

Have you ever struggled to explain an idea that only you could see?

Reservoir to Home

For months we'd been trying to explain what we could see in our minds...
Plans.
Drawings.
Endless conversations.
Then we tried something completely different.
Tomorrow's episode is about the moment everything changed—not because we'd built our home, but because people finally understood what we were trying to create.
I can't wait to share this one with you.

Today's episode is now live!
We honestly thought putting up the scaffolding would take a day.
Three days later...
...the lorry was still stuck.
Looking back now we can laugh.
At the time...
Not so much!
We hope you enjoy this chapter of the journey.
Sue & Larry ❤️

Tomorrow's episode was supposed to be one of the easiest jobs of the whole build...
Instead, it turned into three days of mud, recovery trucks and one very stubborn scaffold lorry.
Sometimes reality writes a better story than we ever could!
See you tomorrow...
