      Homeboy already took care of that. Snippy snip

      Well, if that's the case, he really doesn't need them, anyway.

      Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

            You could do both…. ::)

            I’m literally sat here with one hand cupping myself considering the consequences. I mean, I’ve metaphorically lost my balls already, how much worse can actually losing them be?

            I guess way worse, like waking up and feeling like you got hit by a Bus versus actually getting hit by a Bus  😃

            on a positive note(sorry) any choir in need of a castrato is in luck 😶

                          No.  The 3 blocks of houses at the bottom of the pic are being built by our next door neighbour.  He bought the land and built on it.  He did this to control what was built on the land and not devalue his own property (his house is middle top), so we have benefitted at no risk to ourselves.  He did ask us if we wanted to invest in the scheme, we declined as we had other stuff going on at the time.  Shame, because he has sold 10 of the 13 properties already at well over what his business plan assumed…

                          Anyway, he took the photo as part of his marketing strategy.

                            Gauged arches go in and a few more courses laid.  Next job, the roof joists and the inner roof, that'll be late next week…..

                                  Man I know dick about masonry but that is beautiful and seems like it would be really hard.

                                  Think it, be it.
