Absolutely - well done Jon, the finished product being a direct reflection of the amount of graft that went into it by the sound of things!

 

[Schoolmarm]

Brilliant news!! Congratulations Jon, I may have filled up a little reading that. :lol:

You see, not the work of a madman after all! Glad that others see it as important and beautiful as we do.

I had a neighbour once I nicknamed "Fruits". After 5 years of making a garden, I'd sit in it and drink wine, and he'd shout down from his window "Fruits of yer labour innit, fruits of yer labour!"

Fruits, Jon- enjoy them. Oh, and on Saturday, just mention to St McCloud that his "damn silly hairstyle" has been noticed on this forum, would you?

Huge and hearty congratulations on a great achievement.

Delighted and unsurprised congratulations, Jon.

It's good to see that, among today's plethora of awards, there are still some that really carry some meaning, and reward real achievement.

It's richly deserved.


Oh, thank you. A G&T please. :wink:

 

[Jon Maine]

Why, thank you all. I have to put in for LBC to widen the doors to get my swollen head through

 

[skier-hughes]

Excellent news Jon, now try to enjoy the house a bit!

 

[MdB]

Well done Jon. Well deserved.

 

[FamilyWiggs]

Well done Jon - congratulations.

 

[ilona73]

I am absolutely in awe and bow to your greatness!!!

Absolutely fantabulous!!

You must be so proud!...

 

[FamilyWiggs]

And to think he did it without a single training course - and in less than 10 years. Tsk.! :roll:

 

[Pford75]

Congratulations - what a wonderful motivation for the rest of us....it is possible to finish a project

 

[Penners]

it is possible to finish a project

Well, yes - in a Forth Bridge kind of way...

 

[Moo]

Jon - you are inspiration to all of us !!

If only someone had had the sense to video the whole saga. What a series that could have been.

 

[Jon Maine]

Sorry, I just have no sense

 

[FamilyWiggs]

Jon - you are inspiration to all of us !!

If only someone had had the sense to video the whole saga. What a series that could have been.

What a training course it would have been - could have paid off the restoration works! :roll:

Fabulous Jon, can't think of anyone who deserves it more! (Apart from that elderly lady Gareth, was it, posted about t'other day who moved her whole house, but she's RIP bless her so the way to triumph is clear!!)

Seriously, great news and congrats!

 

[Pford75]

that elderly lady Gareth

Is the stress of the job that makes Gareth look old...he's 22 y'know :wink:

:lol: Its that weatherbeaten look!! No grammatical pedants please, I was trying to type with a new kitten on my knee! (Incidently, how do you persuade a two year old cat home, who is in such high dudgeon over this new tiny bit blown off a cat that he's threatening to leave altogether!!)

 

[FamilyWiggs]

No grammatical pedants please

Do you mean a "grammar pedant" (one who is pedantic about grammar) of a "grammatical pedant" (one who could be pedantic about anything but is also grammatically correct)?

I think we should be told.

I was trying to type with a new kitten on my knee!

I've always found typing on a keyboard easier than on a small feline.

I'll get my coat.
