I will tell him off when he gets here, you mean we are the last to know he is ok. :shocked:
And me and FC even waited up for him last night. :eek:0 -
Ours looked a bit sorry today we think it must have collapsed with weight of water, we are under trees.

Someone had kindly tried to put the end that collapsed back up except for the bent pole was left dangling. :eek:
You can tell the inside has been on the ground as it is bit muddy, and puddles of water everywhere, good job we had not laid the carpet down yet. We were looking for a water proof barrier to put underneath it. Think I will let Mr TS have his way and get black plastic to put the carpet on.
We are hoping to stay out there tomorrow night and Monday so we will be able to check on it.
Mr TS didn't manage to get the work done on outside of house yesterday and it is meant to be nice tomorrow so we are split between getting on and relaxing at the moment.
But we need him to get certain jobs done before we get new windows in etc shame it can't be all fun and play. :eek:
Some people have wooden platforms for the flooring then covered in carpet , have you got anything like this?Sealed pot challenge number 003 £350 for 2015, 2016 £400 Actual£345, £400 for 2017 Actual £500:T:T £770 for 2018 £1295 for 2019:j:j spc number 22 £1,457Stopped Smoking 22/01/15:D:D::dance::dance:- 5 st 1 1/2lb :dance::dance:0 -

I forgot to tell you all something last night.
I needed to raid my wine stash in the bathroom for a bottle of champagne for a present yesterday. :cool:
The box of champagne is always the one right at the bottom far right corner of my stash it had 3 leftover from an M&S glitch and the 3 that came from the Ts mystery fizz box in it.
Well I picked up the one in the front and as I did thought this feels light. :eek:
And when I lifted it away from the box there was no bottom to it and definitely no champagne.
:(:(
At some point the bottom of the bottle must have cracked and all the champagne leaked out. :mad:
I had 5 mouldy bottles of champagne.
I don't know when it happened and the white wine box in front of it smelt of champagne and you could see it had leaked up it so have thrown that box away too. The champagne that broke was a mystery one I have never tried before as well. 
There is no way I can easily get to the corner to clean it so have left it to dry not sure if it was still damp but I will at some point have to move the boxes at the bottom of my stash that were next to it don't know if they soaked any of it up. But it was all too much to try to do in the dark. I might have ended up buried.
