    "Just going to dig a little bit out of the basement to make it bigger down there".... What could possibly go wrong.
    Just waiting to see if the local council will require the property to be rebuilt to to the same appearance before the collapse - Going to be an expensive job. Hopefully they didn't use Bodgit & Scarper Builders and they are fully insured.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    You get a sense of how buildings that were hit by a bomb in the blitz must have looked. Glad to hear everyone got out safely. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
  • "We are considerate constructors" it says on that hoarding. Obviously didn't quite consider it hard enough.
