Are you familiar with having a something that really gets on your wick, like a thorn in your side that you just cant get rid of, ive got one. Being the Amateur Property Developer that I am, im finding the development of number 2 a challenge learning all the time but enjoying it too, we are going over to the house after work each day to discuss things and visualise things, anyway more of that later but to be honest I could to with having a few months off work to manage the build. Needs must and thats that really, but as if that not enough I have this nagging pain that wont go away, it emails me and then facebooks me asking for blog updates, I have 2 thorns, one is in the UK and knows who he is and in fairness only asks every now and then and I like the interest but the other, well he must be retired, have all the time in the world to wake up, brush his teeth and then decide what he’s not going to do that day and all in sunny France. !! Yep we all know him as Steve, well Steve this blog update is just for you.
The bricks are upto the tops of window height just about now and scaffolding will be next then arches over the windows will come, the weather in sunny Bridgemere hasn’t been so sunny of recent so we have been doing what we can when we can, nearly all the bedroom is plastered, all the pipe work and electrical stuff is in, Sue and I have even run network cables everywhere, hdmi cable through the ceiling and speaker cable too ready for it all to be hidden with plasterboard. The ceiling has had a load of wooden chocks put in between the wood to true things up and take out some of the movement in the floor upstairs. En-suite is ready for fitting out now, towel radiator is marked out and all pipes are in position, we will collect all the wall tiles on Thursday hopefully then Dave can come and get tiling at some point. The Garage side door has been removed and had a sheet of 3mm galvanised sheet secured to it so that looks hard as nails which gives a little more of a secure feeling. Sue has spent ages this week trying to sort out the requirements of the chimney breast for a log burner and has got there, we now need to open out the fire place to a good size then that will be ready for finishing at a later stage. Lastly we have spend a fair chunk of time drawing (Sue using Visio) stables and horsey things, I really want to push that forward and get a planning application in for a Menage and Stables ASAP. We have a meeting with Mr Marshall Jnr tomorrow night at his house that is not and has never been opposite Dingle lane to discuss sizes of the buildings and so he can get quoting us happy. The well is still a well, we have not opened it for a couple of weeks but we know there will be a fair amount of water in there anyway. Too many jobs and too little time, think yourselves lucky you got a blog update, you getting no pictures but we have had no dinner either & I bet you all have.
Over & out

I've said many times I don't know how you're doing all this and still keeping on working. Just be glad that at least the "thorn" is a thousand miles away, I've got to live with him !!!!!
