    That's one mofo of a dormer extension...

    I know where there was a mobile home hoisted up onto a roof as an extension, except it overhangs the original walls by 1' or so.

    You should invent a dog washing box. Put the dog into a dog shaped container..... with only it's head sticking out ... press a button and inside the box warm soapy water squirts and brushes scrub :)

    My Dad's much meaner than you, LIR. He hoses the collies down if they get too muddy or (Doglet's particular vice) roll in fox muck.

    Isaac and Bruv played / practised football most days over the Christmas / New Year break, in what was previously the garden, and was at the time a marsh. The day they were doing goalie-type stuff, Dad threatened to hose them down before they came in, and Mama did insist they both strip to pants in the scullery, rather than go anywhere in the rest of the house as mud statues. Isaac thought it was hysterical, his 29 year old uncle being ordered to strip in the same way as his 8 year old self (-:

    This was early on the session. They were already pretty wet, as it was raining, but not yet completely covered in mud. Yours truly thought better of watching, and repaired indoors for a mug of tea and chat with Mama.

    Kiwi has special hair.....it needs to be teased out of matts delicately.

    I happily hose in summer, and hose legs in winter, maybe even under bellies , but not more than that. Not in a cold house especially. Collies are pretty hardy. Kiwis are tough but have coat constraints,and I don't particularly fancy ear problems either.

    Edit...I wish kiwi would meet me half way ..and avoid getting his hair in matts and muddy tangles.

    Ours does that. Frankly makes me wonder if I'm the right temperament to be a dog owner.:eek::mad:

    Is Thornton Heath an okay area, or a bit rough?
