    Haha, well done. Planning your shirt tie combo?

    Going with white suit / black shirt / white tie (tied a la footballer - i.e. looks like a small child who has never seen a tie before did it) this time. Should knock them dead.

    Oh my, well dear chewy, it will make a statement, that is for sure. No going in as a fence sitter for you!

    As brick colour brick?

    Tbh, not a massive fan of exposed brick and stone au naturel, but know loads of people are and appreciate that. I have to live with it elsewhere, like the inglenook. I think that whole wall might be rather domineering as brick coloured brick. Worth applying the silvercar principal too though potentially.:)
    I did mean brick, but painting it's just as valid... I'd go for "least work done - see how I feel about it in the next 2-3 years"

    well, after an interesting turn of events, i now have a second interview...
    You tracked down everybody who was above you in the list and had them bumped off?

    Good plan.

    It might be, or just a bit more. The truss bit is about 88 inches (i checked because they built it out doors and i didn't think it would fit through the door) which is what, seven feet? My dadd couldn't reach the ceiling when we had one, and he is six feet.....my guess is somewhere between 14 and 18 feet:D. I will check the drawings at some point.
    For Easter, ask for one of those laser measuring tools that EAs have.... you can then make all sorts of random measurements around the house and yard for YEARS to come.

    We have some plans of the house with every conceivable measurement on it. Cost a bomb and they were here for almost a week measuring EVErYTHING. But its filed and it s rather complicated to read :o

    Hello!

    Have I missed anything?
    Anyone want to summarise the past 2 months for me to save me trawling through pages & pages of guff?:)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    All things considered, I'm good.

    I've been...incapacitated (for want of a better word) for a period, hence an inability to post and the like. Today is the first time I've properly been online in a while.

    I recieved PN's email, but only read it today! I did reply. PN has such a sense of humour!:D

    Would it have been stalking? Seems topical, as it has been in the news today. But it'd have been good stalking, not bad stalking. That said, It might not have worked, as I can't see anywhere, so would've had to go past the banner! & unless doozer looks like her avatar, then I wouldn't have recognised her!

    Good to have you back Lj.

    I read incapacitated as decapitated and thought "no wonder he can't see!"
