          Thank you Penny:)

          Marley,the house was occupied and simply emptied for a refurb,allbeit a major one and redecorated. The kitchen was newish and cost £80,000 but we took it out..seems it wasn't quite good enough!:what:...refurb is 1.7m BTW:rolleyespink:
          Considering the total sale price was 3.1m a new kitchen is small fry:D
          The head is only 2" high so yes,I did bring it home to add to my other stone works:WINK1:

            I expect some of you have read about this....
            First Great Western - North Cotswold Line Improvements

            Well,the line runs right along side our office/workshop....after all it did used to be where the Station once stood, and work is nearing completion
            [​IMG]

            Shame the ballast laying engine ran out of fuel just twenty yards short of the crossing:D

              This glazing job is in a small village called Temple Guiting in the Cotswold Hills
              [​IMG]
              A lovely Georgian house owned by the village residents.
              It comes with a quite delightful swing :sunny:
              [​IMG]
              and quaint steps up on to the village green:)
