Big dinner today, pot roast beef, with creamy mash, thyme yorky puds, crispy rosemary roast spuds and a bit of veg, gravy from the pot, lovely, going to need a nanna nap after I’ve dropped my old mam’s dinner off
I did them panels in my last house before I sold it, they are a really nice finish, I even made the bath panel out of it, they give a high end look for not a lot of money
They do all taste the same but are all nice, the best way to change the taste is to use vinegars, I like balsamic or red wine vinegar with this type of thing
Ask the lad about building control and he said “ who’s building control “ I don’t know if he was joking or not, so left it at that. So everything is down to the level it needs to be and the type one is coming on Monday, quick job on the way home for my mate and that’s me done for the week, don’t know why he can’t put a track on his own digger
Little dilemma, second part of the concrete floor out and there’s another one under it, only this one is exactly the height my stone needs to be, now building control will say it needs to come out, if it was mine I would visqueen it and pour the concrete, but that’s the customers decision
Getting on well with this, I think we should have it all out for tomorrow and another day to put the sub base in, the lad who owns it has been with us all day and he’s a proper grafter, so what was looking like a week should be done in 3 days
I was in darlo last week, went down one street in the middle of the day and every other house had a tranny tipper on the drive, ether tree surgeon, driveway’s or guttering/roofing and the drives that didn’t have a tranny on had a new caravan ( lol )
Well, I’m going to start the floor job on Wednesday, mate mentioned he needed some trees down so he could have solar panels installed, £2800 for someone to do it, day rate hfor me
Just digging out today, I’ve been asked if I want to take concrete floors out of a house, lad thinks it will take me about 10 days, I could start tomorrow, so I need to have a think about it
It’s just full of scummy horrible people now, it used to be a good day out, it will be 15 years since I last went and it was a going down hill then, I don’t know anyone who goes now
Yeah, boil it for a minute, put in ice water, dry it off, bit of rapeseed oil and sea salt, in the griddle pan for 2 minutes, it’s lovely, still got a nice crunch to it
