Anyway, it's looking absolutely fabulous ... Oh my goodness that is too funny! What a dill Yeah I don't know how they managed to get it so wrong - it even defys common sense - why have a dishwasher recess without a powerpoint? Why have a microwave recess without a powerpoint?

The people across from us had it put down too. DH wouldn't agree to it because of the problems we had with our soakwells not being able to be dug down deep enough. Feeling a bit green with envy.

Bucket has been confined to his paddock - much to his disgust. Now we only have to contend with the duck pooping on the limestone Mclaren The liquid limestone really complements the house ... it's a marriage made in heaven. Re the chair - I meant I could imagine you sitting there with one or both of your children snuggling up to you ... Ahh my bad McLaren, my mind is always in the gutter. Although I think those doing most of the socialising on those chairs will no doubt be the dogs. Beanbags don't seem to cut it for my spoiled pooches. kiwi Wow,unusual Like custard! It goes well with my lickalicious bricks. They will come back and seal it next week, but it will remain a gorgeous custard colour forever (or until it gets duck/sheep poo on it and then who knows what colour combination will occur) Happy, Healthy Free Range Wessex Saddleback Pigs My doom and gloom paperwork nightmare viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32170 Construction viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43653 Re: Velouria's Build -a taste of liquid limestone 739Nov 10, 2011 10:40 am kexkez it always looks gorgeous. sigh. yet another thing I love about V's house I promise Kerry, I will show it off to you as soon as the madness of the move is over.
