saying goodbye to mum-mum and dad-dad this morning, overheard someone walking past new/old house commenting on the bad state of the windows at the front


i wanted to say, 'at least you can SEE the windows now' or 'WTF?? have you seen what's going on round the back?'

we've burnt through over £150k since october on renovations that won't be seen by most

it took us over £10k to just clear the house of what was here before we even started putting anything right.

apologies if yous think we're not going fast enough or if you think the house is still looking tatty

it's a 5year plan not a 5month plan

the rear elevation is almost completely repointed and the cornice around the top above it is repaired and replaced but ALL the windows need repairing.

when people repoint in modern cement, it hurts an old building that needs to move
