Wow, now that IS stressful!

Lol

Have never played a souls type game, but i think this is going to be the first!

Did enjoy

Revenge tragedies seem to be in vogue right now? A la Dom Cummings Vs Boris etc

Exterior drain point is the dream!!!! No more running dodgy hosepipes across the dining room out the patio doors.

Agreed

Hehe

Laying 220 of the fuckers and trying to get them straight and level can fuck right off.

I've recently joined multiple tiling fb groups, I was looking for a tiler in the first instance then realised how informative and funny some posts are what what to do and what not to do.

I saw a post recently re: mosaic tiles with a paper frontage and the advice was to lay them first then soak off the paper

Even saw one suggestion saying they used to grout them from the back before laying on adhesive, but not a clue if that's correct

let me find the post

p.s. @Vesalius check out Barry Welsh is comming

Did lol

Let me know if you see any activity down there!

Will do!

And I don't think I've ever had a drink on the terrace at Bar5 but that picture looks bloody lovely, will give it a look in come spring

Fellow Pembrokeshire-ite here (Parents from Fishguard and Lowertown). Not much family left down that way now, though. I miss it so much

Ha! What are the chances, we're over on the Goodwick side of things

I grew up near Luton so only discovering Pembrokeshire later in life. Think you'll ever move back?

Not far from there! Fishguard area ~2 miles from the ferry terminal

Newport is bloody lovely, I working there last year . And I usually head out that way when mushroom hunting, some nice woodlands. And gorgeous beach.

At least the bathroom is done
(Bar a few things like towel rails etc. Might need a splash back too at some point...)

Yes! In Pembrokeshire 👍 the never ending renovation continues...

Totally agree on the potential, despite literally every room needing to be redone, once sorted we might find ourselves never needing to move again. (Let's see how kids change that plan...)

Definitely thought about french doors there but we've decided to get the single skin blockwork walls under the window built out to the same thickness of the stone walls either side and put in slate sills. (And new sash windows)

We've got a lime plasterer in currently so he's going to cover all the stone back up again so it will all be hidden but undulating finish so you can appreciate the stone.
Was tempted to leave that end wall exposed and just have it pointed (it backs onto a garage so not really exposed so damp proofing less of an issue) but that wall is in a bit of a shit state so long story short that's getting covered as well!

Also our joists above the ceiling there are modern timber nothing special like you'd get in a gorgeous timber framed house in England. Must have been replaced in a renovation decades ago.

How do I kitchen?

good work!

God speed salutes

Made me laugh as I'd taken a very similar photo

they really helped us rinse every last penny from our buyers

Ermm...

Did lol

the previous owner being the cheapskate they are, use cement renders instead of lime renders.

Welcome to the elite club of poor homeowners

I have to thank the previous owner for their negligence though otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford our place.

Also started playing alien isolation last night. Really not sure if I've got the stones to play it, it's horrid

Terrifying, but so good. Score and graphics are top notch for the time, even now graphics are decent.

Came here for my half time meme

You bunch of grumpy cunts

Memes plz

sub-let it as a garage of multiple occupancy for £300/tenant per quarter

Also this :')

if I take a 2 year fixed then the mortgage repayments on the two garages are literally the same as the rent on my current single garage.

If you could remove the deposit obstacle this sums up the housing market for many renters

Is there no window there? Eek

Yeah just behind me, some timber "Yorkshire" sliding sash windows

Currently taped up with a bin bag to stop dust permeating every single crack
