Thought Dubois looked a lot better last time out against Miller, was a tough test for him and he handled it pretty well, but the verdict is still out on him for me, I thought he was going to be challenging the top lads, but I think it's a bridge to far for him. I liked the look of that young lad Moses Itauma last time out, and saw him on the card a few months back, big, strong, quick and boxes well, obviously shit opposition at the moment, but handled well he looks like one for the future. Also, what happened to Martin Bakole, he looked a big lump and half decent as well, not seen hi

You've answered your own question there mate... lol

We're living on it now mate, the top floor is finished, kids rooms and bathroom, heating system and plumbing in (new oil boiler needed at some point) first fix electrics in on middle and ground floor, still using a split between old and new.. hopefully finish middle floor this summer, then onto ground floor, that's a bid undertaking so need to get my head down and hopefully get on it next year... we've made a few downstairs rooms liveable, the kitchen is the big one, complete rip out required! Long term we will hopefully build a small place in the top field for us and holiday let all of i

I have in all the other rooms so far, but the walls were so bad in these 2 rooms I couldn't make it work, it's certainly not an easy project, parts of these rooms had already had renovation by previous owners, probably 30 years ago, so there is odd plaster board stuck on walls, even a solid block wall built straight on top of the floor boards as a divining wall, no strengthening below etc...its a minefield mate, I'm trying to keep as many features as possible, but lots have been lost over the years with less sympathetic farmers! Lol
-
I have mentioned it to Arry before...but I might have a go myself, could do with a decent treasure haul! Lol
-
No way mate, you know the rules, don't name something you're going to eat! Lol
-
Completely agree, although at times just to have the normality of a new build would be nice! Lol The cellar in this place dates back to 1054, it's all built on an old saxon long house, with the first bit done in Tudor times, then a Georgian extention to the rear and a 2 bed annexe about 30 odd years ago, the history is great and I'm trying to keep as much as possible intact, but lath and plaster walls and ceilings are a twat, cob walls are a twat, branches for joists are complete twats! Lol Here's a few of the finds under the floor boards this time..
-
Thanks mate, and I totally agree...when you come here you'll see the best "bent wall" ever in the cottage, it is a complete bananna if I'd of tried to straighten it we would of been left with one long corridor! Lol
-
Absolutely mate! My trade is all about line and level, this place don't quite fit that!! Lol
-
Honestly Paul, the shape of this place is everywhere, I've had to follow some walls, but in the bathroom I've packed the battens and tried to get it fairly square/level... its been a b*****d! Lol I can't plaster for toffee, but I'm OK with most structural things, so knocking up the timber and boards I can do, saves paying someone..back at it tonight! Lol
-
Cheers Arry, Yeah got to keep the sash windows mate, listed!
-
Cheers mate, I certainly won't be doing it for a living though! Lol
-
Cheers Joe, it's so hard when the floors are 50mm out of level over 2m! Lol.. some of the joists still have bark in them! Cob walls, trying to straighten up as much as possible with the battens... the lads are here skimming now, I've got a bit of boarding left to do in one room, hopefully all skimmed by end of the week... if your passing pop in, you might get a paint brush stuck in your hand though!! Lol
-
Why the f**k i brought a f****d up, ancient farmhouse I'll never know... the pain is real!! Lol But... I'm cracking at it, my usual 18 hour days once I get my head around it...must be mental! Lol
-
He is the best right back in the world, no question imo... his pace is unreal, Rashford is no slouch but he was quicker and stronger than him most times .. played a couple of dodgy balls today thar nearly cist City though, their bravery to play everywhere on the pitch and keep such a high line was their undoing today, UTDs tactics were perfect ... said all season UTD are best when they don't have a lot of possession, today was testament to that... brilliant quick counter attacks and allowing City all the possession, pressing correctly and quickly, very good performance all round... If Ten Hag
-
Haha...in that case I would be exactly the same as you.. bye Mr Hag..lol
-
It really was mate, the band is probably the best I've seen, unbelievable, plus The Boss...well...he's the Boss! Lol
-
Ten Hag has had a rough deal imo.. injuries that for ant team is crippling, blooding young players that are definitely the future but need a little time .. I'm.maybe in the minority but I hope he stays, the players played for him today, fought every ball, the youngsters shined again, Martinez showed how much he's been missed, no Casimero made us more mobile (Ambarat was great)... Mainoo is a proper talent... I wanted to stick with Ole but that became impossible, keep changing manager is a poor show, his only possibly bad deal is Anthony, he's landed with a clear out.... stick I say... Oh
-
Let's just say he's a "character"... lol
-
Watched him a few weeks back in Cardiff, took my dad and brother.. absolutely brilliant, brought up on his music, mid 70s and done 3 hours straight...amazing!
-
Brilliant stuff lads.. Well played Martyn...

Hope all went well Dave, catch up in a couple of months at the comp..
