    I'd like a little shed at the bottom of my garden like this I have decided.

    I don't think I'd ever get it through planning permission, though.
    ALL men need a man shed. It's essential.

    I quite like the hobbit house, but wouldn't want one... it's a bit creepy/scarey. Nice idea, but I don't like the gnarled trees holding it up, nor the fear of the roof caving in.

    Are you going to be able to move any time soon? You don't really want to stay there with all the memory's.
    No... I am now caretaker/security until completion.

    Need to sort out a lifetime of accumulated junk from important stuff/things of note... then move the furniture about so it looks like a normal person's house (dated/needs updating), then just sit it out until somebody turns up that wants a do'er upper at a fair price. EAs want to play a game: put it on higher, see if anybody bites; reduce after six weeks .... one 200 yards away of this ilk sold in three months so it might go quickly. I'm mentally preparing for 6-9 months to completion, rather than assuming there'll be a queue :)

    I'm envious, I would love an empty house and the opportunity to have free reign on 'rationalising' - instead I just have to dream of having a shed...

    I think my builder has started another job and we still don't have any heating :(

    Well, the one I just ate was £15.99.:D

    No idea how much the Lanson was.

    No idea, but I hope so. The fridge is completely full of the stuff, and I STILL can't figure out why it's there....
