For Joce and Chris....and anyone else nearby

[Tom]

Hi

I've just returned tho the forum after a long time away. My house is in Lincolnshire, close to Newark, so I can't be far from you. I've done just about everything with ours that you might be looking at doing with yours ie removing cement floors and render, taking walls down, opening up fireplaces, taking up floors, laying limecrete floors with underfloor heating, stone work, brick work, plumbing, electrics, oak floors, oak doors etc etc. Just wondered if you might fancy popping in on one of your visits to Newark just to have a nosey...if you think it might help you at all. You'd be more than welcome, as would anyone really. I don't mind being a show-off for a while!! :lol: I could throw in a cuppa, too

Well, I broke the Internet last week by tidying up too much but how lovely to get it reinstated and come here and find this! Jaqy, I'd absolutely tove to come to your house and have you show it off. Well done on all that amazing achievement. I mainly potter about thinking about things; I've had a terribly unproductive first year. I'm amazed at what you've done.

I'll PM you with my contact details.

 

[Tom]

Excellent, I'll wait to hear from you

Hello Jaqy. Welcome back. Actually, I've bin orf a bit myself recently, having moved house three weeks ago and found that it takes T*sc*li a full week to understand the concept of moving an internet connection from one house to another, then a further fortnight to actually do it.

It's what our beloved Prime Minister refers to as "Digital Britain - leading the way on the information highway".

:evil: :evil: :evil:

Great to see you again, Penners

Ah, yes...t'interweb. Great when it works, PITA when it doesn't!!

So, moved house? Another project? ASL? Nah, silly...not Age, Sex, Location!! Leave that for other forums. I mean Age, State, Location !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Penners - have you been sniffing the polish again?

I think it is time for your nap - Nurse, Nurse!

Well, Jaqy, I'm sorry to say that I understood almost none of the above (except that I have a distant memory of one of your references).

PITA?

ASL?

I promised Mrs P that this house wouldn't be "a project", but ever since we moved in, we've both been make frequent use of that immortal phrase, "Don't you think this space would work better if we....**"

** Insert any of the following: Rehung the door the other way/moved the wall two feet to the left/took out that vile window/etc. etc.

PITA? ASL?

PITA....Pain In The A*se

ASL?...Age, Sex, Location. Used frequently by morons on forums who masquerade as genuine people but are solely looking for that old phenomenon 'CyberSex'. It's frequently followed with lines such as 'Are you alone' and 'What are you wearing'.

I promised Mrs P that this house wouldn't be "a project", but ever since we moved in, we've both been make frequent use of that immortal phrase, "Don't you think this space would work better if we....**"

Don't worry, we women know better than to take any promises of this nature seriously.

How lucky the house is to have you, with all your knowledge and compassion. Hope we can see some of the plans and projects!

I promised Mrs P that this house wouldn't be "a project", but ...........

Now, why am I not surprised?

Jaqi - you're AMAZING!

What a woman, and what a house! It was great to meet you both and your thousands of pets- a very inspirational afternoon. Those stone fireplaces - still drooling. And still reeling at all the work you've done. Jon Maine got a prize- where's Jaqi's?

 

[Tom]

Thank you so much for your kind words about our house. I'm so glad you had a nice time here and that we've inspired you to go ahead with yours. It was fantastic to meet you! You're one of the nicest people I've met in a long, long time...honestly

We're both looking forward very much to visiting you next week. I'll be bringing you a hard hat and visor, as promised :lol:

Brilliant. You'll make a workman of me yet.
