Owning your own home

20 acres would be a major fucking Ballache to mow

Aye and another 850 grand to sort it out too.

The livestock would look after that

Once I’ve listed with E17s favourite estate agents - that’s how much over the advertised price I expect to go

Oh yes bedroom 1 is lovely. But that place could be amzing

Mostly woodland, nothing much to mow.

If you can work remotely, do it.

Anyone fancy a windowless former binstore to live in?

What the actual fuck.

Maximum number of tenants is 4

6 hour shifts?

*No C-tax / Rates bills.

Until the council find you and evict you for unlawful occupation or something?

And the even bigger crime of using OSB as a decorative finish.
whoever thought shuttering ply was suitable for interiors needs a good shoeing.
it’s up there with LiLoLa vinyl wall graphics, carpets in bathrooms stone cladding, conservatories and 80’s red and white kitchens.

Its bin removed! I feel I have missed out...

I mean Stirling board made from the sweepings off the sawmill floor used to keep oiks off the site. nothing wrong with quality faced ply

Interiors done with it look like you have moved into a chicken shed but run out of money for the refurb.

It took two years and ten days, but the door from this post was finally fitted today.

It looks great but it was so heavy that I was never able to get it outside to strip and paint it before it was fitted, so I'll have to do that in situ.

New sidelights and fanlight (if that's the right word when it's rectangular) are pending.

Transom window.

All fanlights are transom windows, but not all transom windows are fanlights.

A transom is a window above a door (or window).

Thank you - I hadn't heard that before.

Here's the new door in place. I need to check @cozey's list before we choose a colour.

Once you've given the brass on that a bit of polish and its all painted up that's gonna look great.

Based on the angle of the photo I think you have subsidence.

No, just seems that way because you've only got one shoe on

I worry that polishing it too much would be incongruous with the tatty rest of the house.

I think my phone is drunk.
