Never extended a house.
We have the original wood floors. If they are as old as the house that makes them 75 years old.

Davesnave is posting on the greenfingered thread we both post on.
He is very busy, he has acheived so very much at his new place and is looking at plans for improving the actual house. The amount he and his dw get acheived Is constantly humbling, I am so in awe of them.0 -

I think our house was also built in 1938. In some places we are walking on the original floor boards, they have not been polished we just can't afford carpets.I think....0 -
Alive and well and posting elsewhere this weekend along with some other NPs.Doozergirl wrote: »Where is davesnave?lostinrates wrote: »Depends, dunnit, on when you bought and how much money you have. The first home my parents had was a west London bargain. Near a park, but also with a decent sized garden of its own....big enough for a play house, a lawn that the dog (I rmember just owning one dog) and I could tear around in, oh, and a swing, I loved that swing, and nothing was crowded. My godmother has the whole of a three or four storey town house, which I am told had a nice garden ( she has so much junk I have never got to the back door to look at it). Dh's cousin has a huge house in north London where he breeds dogs and keeps chicken. He once had two goats. (zone two). His brother lives about 700 yards away and has no harden, but a house so big you never know how many people applying for asylum he has living there (his pet cause).
If we hadn't bought a very boring unlikeable midterrace house years ago we'd have nothing rerasonable now. At one point that house was increasing in value faster than I was earning money! bythe thime we were ready to sell we could make a step up.
Its only asset was it was in a good school catchment area, not that such things officially exist.
Frankly a shed in a good school area might be worth more than a great house in an area with failing schools.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Right dog and I back to vets this morning, me extremely grumpy as they are trying to suggest dog dog chewed it. Dog dog has her faults, but I asked her not to chew the first one, and she complied, and did not even try with this one, mainly she has slept ever since, just slept on the 'good' sofas.0

I found this fascinating:

NSFW? I don't know. It talks about sex but it's not !!!!!! or anything. It certainly sets of a whole load of questions for me. Do any of the nice people know a pair of conjoined twins that I can discuss sex with for several hours in a way that they might find very intrusive?
Thought not.0 -

He's been posting on the teaching thread on here too.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
