Giles and Paula Add a Room Onto the Side of The House

@Chris:

I do worse things on the road here on a daily basis. In Houston, I did worse things on an hourly basis…

[organisys]

nothing to see here officer

@Chris  Slightly open to interpretation, but a Police Officer or a DVSA representative might well take a dim view of Giles' load.

I once had to 'straddle' a concrete paving slab at ~70mph on the outside lane of a motorway (Freeway), fortunately I didn't hit it. A few people a few hundred meters down the road where not quite so lucky given the resultant destruction I saw.

[Giles]

I actually don't know, but the guys in the wood yard were pissing themselves laughing.  I'd certainly have had my collar felt for not having a high-vis flag on the end of the stack of wood.  The bit of plastic sheeting that I tore off a pallet of bricks, does not really count….

[Giles]

Much nicer.  New roof tiles too?

[Giles]

Up to coping stone level….

Next couple of weeks plan:

I’m excited about the lanterns and the building regs person. For very different reasons  [emoji1]

[Giles]

Then these turned up…..Les is hung over and Alex has damaged his back (when a car pulled out in front of him when he was cycling home)....., so I guess shifting them is down to me....(Paula, conveniently has a subsequent engagement  )

[neph93]

Sorry to hear about that @Alex  hope it isn’t too serious [emoji53] Try not to put your back out @Giles

[Alex]

Nothing too bad, thanks. I’ve broken two ribs before and it’s not that bad, so I’m sure it’s just muscular or bruising from where I rolled my rinçage over the handlebars and onto the ground

@Giles:

Les is hung over

[Giles]

One pallet down….

[louisbosco]

@Giles  . that is looking good! coming together well!!

@Alex i've been hit on a motorcycle before so i know how it feels. hope you're fine as well and you're definitely going to feel sore for the next few days as well..

[Giles]

Oh, by the way, the block wall is going to be rendered and painted the same colour as the house…..Not leaving it like that... ::)

[louisbosco]

what colour was the house again? always thought it was that brick red.. i'm could be possiby wrong..

[Giles]

The rear is, the sides and front are rendered white and painted…

[Chris]

Ok, I know I'm opening myself up to any number of smart-assed comments, but what is the rain detector that you're installing?

Prefacing your dumbass question with the above is poor form, sir. How can anyone effectively mock you now? Bloody killjoy.

[neph93]

On the other hand, seeing as you apparently can’t infer meaning from two nouns, I wonder if I can interest you in some tartan paint for your latest interior design project? I also have some top of the line glass hammers available for those delicate nailing jobs…

Wind the clock back four years and you would have had an abled body Aussie who you could have put to work!

The roof lantern will have 2 opening windows, whne the rain detector detects moisture, the windows will close if they have been left open…..
