    Hi Pal, just read through this thread, what a hectic bunch of months for you! But the progress has been utterly amazing to read.

    All my love to you both as you draw ever closer to curling up in your lovely home again!

    Oh, Pal, let's hurry into 2008 and a better year for you. [​IMG]

    We're having torrential rain at the moment and loving it ... the wind is somewhat gusty though. N'er mind, it's nice by the log fire, which I'm going back to. [​IMG]

    good luck, Pal

    at the end of the day material doesn't matter.

    who said that :D you understand more than anyone cos you've been through it & come out together.

    well done, keep pics coming.

    if you're fed up with your surroundings soon (after all, you are working around them all the time), you can always come here for a holiday. I'll give you loads of work on my house with total **** outlook - other old houses, back lane, cars at the front road, urban. how much of a holiday would that be for you ;)

    in fact we could swap - i'll look at yours, you build/re-new mine. i promise we would enjoy it, specially my dog. she's sick of the garden [​IMG]
    she would love those fields.

    keep up the good work pal,

    cheers

    Good afternoon folks.. ;)
    Just popped in to say hello.
    I'm really missing G-C and the banter what with all my time being spent decorating there is none left for fun.. :D
    And xmas looks as if it'll be spent away from home too!!
    Hope you are all keeping well.. [​IMG]

    Hi Pal ... you may be gone but not forgotten. [​IMG]

    Sorry things won't be ready for you to be back home for Christmas but perhaps it will be a good start for the new year. [​IMG]
