Daydream thread continues.....

I am with dave on the render....fwiw ctc we have the same at the back here.....awkward render concealing beautiful brick....but our guess is there was a reason it was rendered, and it could be very expensive to find out what the reason is, si the back stays.


I recokon a sympathtic paint colour, and sone climbing roses/ clematis/ wisteria / grapes even oir what ever climber floats your boat, and your front becomes a thing of devastating charm. In the future a door change etc can work more magic. Its charming, and i think you can make it remarkably more so.

we are going to put stable style doors instead of the long window and doors that are there now....

Funny enough we were talking last night about giving it a paint job, just to brighten it up a bit.

I am :mad: this morning... we have blue skies and the sun is shining....typical, back in work today....

This week is going to be !!!!!!... with trying to do 5/6 days work in only 4...plus eldest hasnt been well yesturday, so isnt going into work today, so we will be one down....

its blowing a hoolley here today, P'ing down horizontally and mabels NOT happy.:( she doesnt mind frost,snow,cold but rain....:eek:

ive got to TRY and make a cake !! if i get a ton of supplies [ingredients] i may get success...:D be a very expensive cake tho...my mode of thinking is just invite LIR here and i get them done for me...;)

well im braving this glorious weather to go get feed and then onto the tip [just incase i fine my "foden" again !!;) ]

i am determined to get choille and DH to my friends hotel in scotland for a free break SOON.....:D i DO NOT GIVE UP !! she WILL be waited on hand and foot and fed.... and can lay in a bath for the whole duration if desired....:D

ROZEE.... i spent time in my YOOF with some travelling romanies and learnt painting [barge and wagon lining], making proper wooden pegs and wood carnations . and all my mates/family were saying "oh that will come in usefull ":o well it HAS ! teaching children simple things can all be adapted to a good skill in later life. it gives them the imagination to adapt and use whats to hand and to get pleasure from the results...

If I could give this place a spruce up & get the hens sorted out I would defo take you up on the offer. I'm too embarassed to have someone come when we are away. A couple are always offering to come but they are so neat & tidy I don't want them seeing the utter squalor we are living in............:eek:

Oh Goodness I might plot that one if I sell loads of gear that I spent allW/E listing - feel jiggered today & my eyeballs frazzled. Done nowt today.
But windas are coming at Tea time so a little jiggle of stuff outside so the lorry can turn down here as the poor chap had toreverse all the way back up the track the last time he came. The guit big winda for upstairs will take four of us to lift according to OH.
