    Bought! Can't wait to start weeding :D

    Do you need to burn these weeds or is it okay to compost them?

    With the weather we've had this afternoon/evening I'm hoping any weeds have been washed to the bottom of the hill :rotfl:
    Brown water covering the complete width of the lane (OK that's not that wide but ......) is rushing down like a torrent & will no doubt be finding its' way into the river at the bottom. If not there'll be a few people down below who are having problems.

    We did have the most enormous rainbow for about 3 minutes, though. It must have been quite close, I guess, as I've never seen one so wide. It was quite fascinating & a shame it disappeared so quickly.

    Congratulations to DS & OH, rhiw. :beer:

    The MSE thing about having sons is that, traditionally anyway, it's the bride's parents that pay for a wedding :D

    Congrats Mr & mrs Rhiwie on your on the news:beer: have they named the day?

    Sorry Alfie about the chook....

    Well architect sp? went to measure the house and start doing plans etc ( step father organised it so didnt know he was there) we had arranged for a local well known builder to give us a quote etc so the sort of crossed over...

    Anyway... the builder would give me a price, and said that he didnt there was subsidence, he said it could be the walls being so wet that they were just weaking and crumbling... When i said i wanted to keep the stone work in the rooms etc.. he then started saying that this and that needed doing, and hten came out with the corker of... you are better off knocking it down and building a new house:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Sooooooooooooo he is NOT getting the work... that all he kept saying, you can rebuild this wall and it will be straight....well maybe i dont want all my walls straight:mad:

    I need to find a sympathetic builder or stone mason/worker..

    I know this might sound silly, but is there such a thing... as a collage etc that do old style building/restoration coarsees/apprentices, that would do the work on the house and a discounted price for the practical experience?

    Might phone st fagans tomorrow and ask... but i dont want to sound silly, or for them to think i am going over board on trying to keep the house as authentic as possible...

    right going to have a nice long soak in the bath, with ooober amount of bubble bath:D
