    Looks nice now it's (pretty much) done. What are you going to do with yourself now you've finished?

    Looks good Pinno. Must be a good feeling of achievement? Or are you just knackered?

    Chuffed to bits. It's been a long haul. Started May 22nd 2016 but only been full time on it for the last 6 months.
    Now packing :roll: It's even more knackering. All this stuff to sort. How the feck do you accumulate so much stuff?

    I've not really seen it as a complete house until the last couple of days or so. I'm still in the mind set of '...what needs to be done today... i'll need to sort such n such...".

    FYI Stevo, I shall be expanding the waste management consultancy.

    Good plan, waste management without getting your hands dirty. And we dont have to pay towards your dole money :wink:

    Cheers Guys. It's been a long (mainly solo) haul,

    It's even got curtains and shelves now. ... and a phone ...and tinternet!
    Driveway is almost done. I managed to get the best boys in that business in the area to do it and it's stunningly good. What a transformation.

    I'm in the middle of moving, so I don't know whether i'm coming or going at the moment.

    Just caught up with this. Congratulations! Looks great. Must be a huge sense of achievement/relief.

    When's the next one starting? ;)

    More of a kids observation facility.

    When it's a little bit chillier, it's warm and even warmer now with it's new twin wall Polycarb roof.
    Very handy for drying laundry.

    Hello Mr P. Catching up. Is the house on a slope, or is the angle of the photo a bit odd? My head may be wonky.
    Anyhoo, looking good. Just tear yourself away from the LR thread and get it finished!
    (Really enjoyed the Flann o’Brien takeoff btw, one of my favourite books ever)

    Cheers BBG.

    There is a slight slope from left to right if you held a putter in your hands. However,I think the bulk of the wonkiness is me.

    I tried in vain a little to emulate the excellent prose Underlayunderlay put together but always got the feeling that no matter what I did, as an 'outsider', I would have got little credit for my contribution.
    The 3rd policeman is my favourite book. To think he sat down one evening and wrote most of the book overnight shows the genius of Flann O;Brian. James Joyce is so over rated and ambiguous.
    At Swim Two birds exceeds anything Joyce wrote.

    Dunno. I miss BBG.
    I only bumped the thread to save it from autocropping, like the Bent Bang Theory - now lost in digital hyperspace.
    How the hell are you WS?

    He just went AWOL. I tried PM'ing him but no reply. I think he was drinking a lot as a few of his posts mentioned drinking in the morning/middle of the day. I know a few people who'll say that's not a problem but I have a hunch that he may have had a few things to deal with.

    He did service. Maybe there's a connection.
