Thanks for the love on here over the last years. Us boys goin in fer the Full Tesco - yup, a bag for life. Opefully the bowel cancer screening programme has caught it in time to save that life. Goan tu be busy recovering ferra cuple uv months but like Arnie, I’ll be back!
My bruv has survived quite a long while with two bags for life so hopefully you'll be OK. ;)
 
...well.
Had a look at the gutterin' and no it ain't the gutter, even the endpiece hadn't broked.
It was jammed up with leaves which have flow from lord knows where (probably due to the high winds we get up here) moss but worst of all flaked off bits of tile! :eek: :eek: :eek:
We have had to replace broken tiles before, so many that a neighbour, whose house was built by the same peeps who built ours just about a year before and who hasn't lost one tile, thinks we were given a job lot of seconds.
But on surveying that part of the roof where there are 576 odd tiles, about 1/4 at least of them are flaking off, quite dramatically. They will all need replacing sooner or later.
One right next to the wall of the bit in the middle, which has a "first" floor, had broken so I replaced that a moment ago. And squirted ant powder all around it as it was covered in the lickle blighters.
Where the flaky ones are is all towards the western edge of this north facing roof. The ones on the other, eastern, side of the house are all ok, more or less.
I haven't dared look at the two south faces and I am not dreaming of clambering up to the roof of the first floor bit without buying a longer stable ladder!
all fun, not!

Went to my lad's 40th.
His GF had a really nice cake made for him.
It reflects his passion for gaming and his new business.

I just thought I'd do something completely pointless for a few minutes.

I have located Katie Price's Mucky Mansion on Google Earth. Because Google Earth allows you to see aerial photos from different dates (assuming that someone has taken them, and Google has bought and published them) you can trace the accumulation of muck during her incumbency. Here it is in 2012:

That was a little before she moved in. More recently it looks like this:

You can see that the swimming pool has turned green and the former tennis court is now merely piles of rubble and discarded cars. I wonder where she gets all her muck from? There's more than could easily be generated just on the premises - it must have to be imported.
 
Eye watched a few telly programs about her doing up that house. It was left empty ferra while. When she moved back in peeps had vandelised it. Complete mess. She employed a builderer to work full time with her as it was cheaper than him charging job rates. Fink a few had tried to do her over on price.
