The fact you might be dreaming of me is slightly worrisome, Ivor.

Anyway, the only Oil I see these days is pure Crude and thats only if the Intervention Guys are on Board. Its all heavy weight Brine and other Completion Fluids I see. Ever seen a pair of Leather boots shrink so much over a shift they have to be cut off of the foot? Its funny.

Ahah! Anyway, yes you can run your car on it, but I wouldn't recommend it!

Talking about oil was it Gadaffies oil that leaked Pete and if the Libyan oil industry only supply 2% of the oil why has the pice gone up 210%?

yeah yeah, they shrink skin tight, go all shiny, stretch to unfeasible lengths like to just over the nee and the heels stretch to 4 inches. We heard about what you rig boys are like in yer thigh high patent stillhetto heeled saftery boots :-)

Great thread Pete mat have my own Horror story to tell if it turns out my place has subsided?

It will be well worth it for you at the end Pete Stick at it do not worry about next door it may be affordable housing but no chavs can afford the 25% you need to get a mortgage these days.Also not as if you are in a Semi so you wont hear them anyway.

Good luck

Thanks Tony, actually the walls are so thin you can hear a pigeon outside fart..........

No deposit required - the clue is in the term "affordable housing"....it won't stop Chavs, so I may still end up with Nick living next door to me....

I had the day off again today and finished the last of the really grotty cutting and re-pointing this evening in almost darkness, lord knows what the quality of workmanship will be like, but I am now on the home run of this particular bit of work.

It's going to rain most of tomorrow so at least I have an excuse for staying in and watching England stuff the French

Just a quick look back to 2009 when we first looked at the cottage, you can see how faded the beams were at the back:

Nice one Pete looking good

The upside is it does look like a house and one worth all the effort

spurred me on to update my sorry POS build

Hiya Will!

Finished with your pecker?

We need pictures of your progress and your stories of your charming neighbours!

Hi Pete

can't find the damn thread mate

No mate, major server crash a while back, start again, chap.....

For the benefit of Drew, just in case it got lost in translation

This is what " cottaging " is

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottaging

It has very little to do with old houses in the countryside

...and there speaks the voice of experience

That's probably where your love of small blocks derives


Just joking, I know you have done the "old house" bit and then uttered the famous words "Never again!"

Pete

Will go on record with this

" The only s~~t i ever push uphill will be in a wheelbarrow "

Anyway ... house is looking good
