What's bugging us lately is that the new owners next door have decided to let their house out as an Air bnb, the clients have been ok so far but I can see it might be different in the summer as the twats have put a hot tub in out the back Address…. I’m booking that 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Mandi decided we'd extend the front room which sounds totally daft but we can see a time when she's really going to struggle with stairs and mobility so we came then move her down there. That was my plan with building the bike garage attached tothe house if either of us get to bad to go upstairs it will make a tidy sized bedroom 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Today I have mostly been painting my eldest daughters bedroom. I fucking hate painting, so in a grumpy stop at the moment. They have all left me well alone. Going up my mates after dinner to measure a couple of things on his CB500F, with a view to farkling mine a little. Then more painting 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for me all the woodwork in her room is varnished so will come up with some sugar soap. I can deal with painting a empty room, I worked with a painter and decorator for a while years ago, that is fine but when you are moving furniture all the time and stuff it grips my shit. Also my daughter told me the room was spotless and tidy ready for me, she did not tell me the truth. She is away at college for a week so I just have to deal with it. There will be moaning on her return. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner of that house died a while back and left the house to a few charities and family members, so our friends offer has got to be accepted by a committee! Keith is pretty laid back about it, but his wife was getting all stressed out about it! Do you see house prices dropping due to the mortgage rate rises and general cost of living increases there? Depending on which lender/source you listen to they are due to drop 5-10% by the end of the year!! But like @boboneleg says not in Brizzle. The demands high and they seem reasonably insulated. Even if they aren’t the prices are predicted to recover by 2024. The place I saw today were asking 320k for a one bed! They said it was two but it became clear they are describing the living room as a bedroom! Heyho. Mr Slowly went into one estate agents in Clifton and tore them a new arsehole cos he’s rung them 5 times requesting a viewing and each time they say yeah yeah sure and don’t bother to get back to us! A sure sign they’re not desperate for work and the Brizzle market is good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished yacht varnishing 13 doors before Crimbo and it killed any care I have about keeping things looking respectable! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sure sign they’re not desperate for work and the Brizzle market is good. I have a niece who's renting in brizzle with her boyfriend. They've got a 1 bedroom flat and they're paying crazy money for it! One of the rules about advertising accommodation here is that for a room to be considered to be a bedroom it must 9m² minimum and also a minimum ceiling height, which I can't remember what it is, but it's what you'd consider a reasonable height. My house in the UK was classed as 4 bedroom, but the smallest "bedroom" was barely big enough for a standard single bed, with little room for anything else! We used it as a guitar and storage room! Good luck with your search. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Jesus H Chroist that was cold, just got back from my mates house. I popped up there a few hours ago in the sunshine, didn’t bother with my over trousers as I only was going for a chat 4 cups of tea later rode home as the sun is going down. Can’t feel anything below the waist at the moment, the heated grips played a blinder though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Rode home from work (brrr). Filled up my fuel tank and then actually hosed my bike down when I got home. First time ever, Just to get all the white shit off the thing (salt city)!! I thought best to hose it in the afternoon as if I wait my new neighbour will be home from work and he is always standing at his open door or in his garage with the door open. He's a smoker and I think the real house owner has forbidden him to smoke indoors. He always seems to be there when ever I step out my front door, even late at night and I can't stand an audience all the time. On the plus side his parking is excellent and I can get my bike in and out of the garage at any time without moving my car. Next time I ride the bike (Friday) I am off to Norfolk for the weekend via B roads. Shame it's winter, won't be able to check out toe numbers on the locals. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
