Barnie !!!!! A view like that etc is worth more than gold    in my view. Easy to smell the roses & the fresh air there I would say & a bit like I have etc, to a degree. Hard thing thou   I suspect "Trouble lurking" in where you are going to put the lofts.
Exiciting times moving into a new house etc. I remember it well, even thou it was 40 odd years ago for me.

Thanks for kind comments. Lots of renovation on house first so probably have to write this year off for pigeons. Hopefully get a loft up sept or october and I can fit it out over the winter ready for next year. Unless work goes quicker than planned. Never took a big job on like this so just got to watch the spending as it always seems to cost more than you plan. Definitely be worth it one day though. Best regards, barnie.

Hard work usually pays off in the end Barnie etc    "Beware thou !!!!!!!!!!"   That you keep though's Fracking drills out type of thing there or your vista/enviroment could be destroyed, rather quickly  .

Barnie I no you cant do it the right way whiel your doing the house, do a nice sun lounge and the loft on top your both winners then some thing on the style of the dutch stairs out side then you can sit in the lounge and watch birds come from a race,all sorted good luck mate

Been in a week and still a bit shell-shocked. Don't know where to start because lousey weather is stopping work like new roof, damp courses, windows to fit, so we just got to sit it out till weather improves. Noticed the garden drains off nicely so no probs with flooding here as it's on a bankside. Gonna take a few quid to put this right but well worth it one day we're sure. Missus already met neighbours and likes living here so far, seems proper friendly old-type community look out for each other. Seen a few cats around but not in our garden. Already filled a skip with junk around the place, previous owners left it in crap order like a tip, not happy about it.

glad to hear your settling in and happy with the new house colin, sounds a nice place to be...........hope all goes well with the repairs/alterations and the loft building    

send the last owner the skip bill past tenents are expexted to clear anything not on the forms you fill in when you buy the house ie all rubbish to be removed

No rush etc    "been in a week"     Planing is the key     before one attacks what lays ahead there for you all I would say. Typical wife thou I see       Chit chatting with the neighbours instead of working    .

Your turn soon, hope you don, t have as much work to do as us mate, we should have bought your loft to move into till the squat is finished  

my thoughts exactly colin, would make a nice pigeon loft, just like the belgums do........shame to waste it

Forget the pigeons    it looks like a wreckers ball has hit the place etc."Much work, no play"    for someone I suspect & I'm sure glad it's not me    .
