[OTish] Ping the budding architects - workshop design

I'm in.

Make a rough estimate of the number of bricks, then ring around your
local "Architectural Antiques" yards - they may even come and collect
them, not to mention giving you money for them.

 

The wheelbarow was what helped my species to walk on their hind legs. Sign
me up.

 

I find barrowing bricks far easier when the wheelbarrow says 'Ford
P100' on it. Best VFM vehicle I've ever bought, that. It's done
numerous dump runs, trundled stuff around the garden, & been taken up
to ramming speed to 'encourage' a few stubborn barn walls to give up.

Safety nazi.

I lie - 6%, and is available in bottle conditioned form.

Good idea. I think I will take a sample in to one and see if they are
interested. I've got a 'cold frame' that's also constructed of the same
bricks without any mortar. That is also going to be dismantled to make
room for interim storage.

Having said that, it won't happen until after the dreaded school
admission envelope(s) drops on the mat in about three weeks time. If the
first one says the lad has been accepted at a Thomas Telford City
Technology College a house move is almost certain and the demolition
will be off the agenda.

I will be making a decision on the viability of this project in early
March and will give your CV due consideration.

Unfortunately, to get a pickup in reach of the greenhouse would mean
demolishing my garage.

It was the safety of other structures I was concerned about, not
personnel.

Thanks. I might even have the Nordie and two GFRs on the road, so a SOIB
CIHAGM fest might also be on the cards.

A plan, with suggested dates, may crystallise next month.

What? Seems a bit extreme when the traditional route is finding digs for
the student type.

This 'College' is a secondary school. Whilst he an increasingly
independent 11 year old, with a mind of his own, we don't think he is
quite ready to leave home yet. If he gets a place (selection is separate
from the usual LEA procedure and it is oversubscribed 10:1) he can get
there from here by school bus, but we would probably use it as an
impetus to move to Shropshire.

Mind you not a bad scheme to get them off your hands early.

 

Aye, he seems to think going down the pit at 12 is too good for him.

Sounds like the 'ramming speed' option would take care of demolishing
the garage for you.

Beer and knocking down - it gets better and better.

Whereabouts are you roughly?

 

West Midlands. This is turning in to one of those school arithmetic
problems.

If it takes one sober man X days to knock down a greenhouse how many
hours will it take Y drunken UKRMers.

The answer is probably between 1 and infinity.

Seal the missing windows with bin liners and duct tape.
Light a candle in the greenhouse.
Turn on calor gas cylinder and shut door.
Retire to other end of garden to drink beer.

 

Shame - I'll never get a pass from SWMBO unless it *does* involve
knocking down the garage, the calor gas option, or both.

 

Would it help if I tell you that I'm considering buying a house on
five acres with a three-car attached garage, and an eight car detached
garage (with pukka flooring, air-lines, benches and shelves)? Oh, and
it's 225k sterling.

 

Cricklade's gone out the window then?

Cricklade may come to me.

 

Show me that in the rules.

Less available than before, to be honest. We just got back from a
wedding in South Africa (not ours). Lots of fun.
