Yep, the previous owners failed to keep rodents out and suffered with catastrophic power and water leaks. I on the other hand had a regular pest controller out, had the bottom two rows of tiles wired and wire wooled and expanding foamed all...

Reminds me of a job I was on in the early eighties. The old boy who was the tea boy and breakfast cooker was a soldier in North Africa during WW2, told us that they were rationed to one square of bog roll per day (the slippy, hard type). They had...

Truble is you are not supposed to leave standing water around as it encourages tiger mosquito. Which is a real bore as it means I have to fit the water reservoir pump each time we want to use it. The hole is covered by a concrete manhole cover.

You've told this story before. I loses nothing in the second telling!!!! 🤣 🤣

Good job. Can I ask why you are removing it? J

So it only took 2.30 this morning to clear one half of the loft, 30 bags zip tied off, hoovered and bleached. Daughter helped. I’ve bought all the ppe, hepa vacuum, paid her £300 and still come in £2k under quote skip dependant. Same task again...

The mighty grey Fergie. Good choice sir 👍

Don't envy you the task at all. Small parcels of it shoved into bin-liners and tied off and lobbed thru the hatch. For each "goal" reward yourself with 1 ice-cold beer. Job "jobbed" in no time. Are you vacuuming out all the "bits" too?

Exacerbated by being in a Tyvex suit with a ffp face mask on 🤣 It’s my own fault, I could’ve paid the £3k the contractor wanted to do the job. I just channelled my inner @kevstar and thought the money would be better spent on a tractor.

They are only young 30s? So they have time to change or at least make a stool wif an ole in it;). J

Thats not going to be a nice job. If you need any moral support I will be cheering you on from the pool, OK :) J

I have the unenviable task of removing 30 year old loft insulation today. Unavoidably the task day is set for today and tomorrow. Having been up there last week, it is like a furnace.

Going to be hot again. Make sure yer put water out for wild life. Tis a good job eye gottid me harvester wuking. Eye collect 4x the amount of rain eye did before. Helps to correct the lack ov rains.
