Currently nothing as the house looks like it is going to need extensive rennovation.... things are beginning to drop off walls.

Indeed one wall may need attention....

So time to tackle the lead and plastic mountain and try to engage some fiscal discipline!

We'll see how long that lasts :)

Because the thing dropping off it is the rest of the house? :wall:

Best of luck with that, Stu.

Actually tiles from a wall which, on inspection, isn't exactly flat...

The joys of owning a stone cottage... :)

New bathroom needed. The replasteirng bits of the kitchen, Sandtexing the whole house to keep the weather out,,,

And that's just the urgent stuff.

Hope the weather holds for you and you find a reliable contractor.

Trying to find any contractor is a pain at the moment. They're all busy over charging second home owners all of whom seem to be renovating their properties currently... :)

Even our navy struggles with the idea. That's why eight of the F35s on the big flat boat are RAF and the other 10 are USMC.

Absolute Emperor - Osprey's latest rule offering. Sounds like what I've been looking for. Nappyleonics for Ayton 2022?

I am thinking of getting them as well. I am also going to give Neil Thomas Napoleonic rules a run out soon.
