Think how much easier it would be to build houses if we could put the roof on first.
Nature dealt us a cruel blow when it invented gravity.

If you take the roof off first, you have to spend time dismantling the roof AND then the wall. Do it the other way round, take the wall down, the roof comes for free. BOGOFF.

Nice work. Mind you don't forget that length of hose (and its holder).

...and the spray nozzle sitting on a sticky-outy thing just below it.
Waste not, want not.

That "sticky-out thing" appears to be the spray nozzle shelf, in this particular Hozelock configuration.

An actual spray nozzle shelf?

It seems so. It could alternatively be what remains of a wall mounted plastic hose reel (and accessories) when some well-meaning DIYer (and/or his good lady wife) quite literally 'brought the roof down".
But, I've looked and can't see a longer hose (or a pair of boots) sticking out from beneath the rubble....
So, I'm going with the twin shelf combo.

That's quite a short hose - I guess there must be a long tap somewhere.
What are you up to with the demolition? Is the extension staying off?

If anyone would like to buy the patent to the 'Spray Nozzle Shelf' please apply to PO box...
That extension is staying off and a new improved bigger better one is going up in it's place. We had no intention of doing this sort of thing when we bought the place (Honest Guv), but after much umming and arring about what to do with the rather crappy flat roofs and 4 inch (knackered) back wall this seemed to be the only way to go. We just try not to examine the financial implications too often :shock:

You could always sell the hose and it's rare and unusual nozzle shelf, somewhere in the e.bayverse there must be someone looking for that exact thing.

At my age, a nozzle shelf is an object of desire and envy.

Regrettably and frustratingly, Yer Ladyship, your picture failed to appear.

I saw that, not sure why, I fixed it now. Knew you would want to see :wink:

I can see it now, Yer Ladyship. Thank you.
I suppose the stencilling on the shelf was put there purely in the interests of physiological exactitude.
