Re: sam444
I have lots of before and after pictures, but first of all they are in my external hard drive which has just gone on the blink, well the cable has, so I can't connect to it at the moment. And I'm not sure they are of much interest to most people. Thank you for your kind comment on my writing, I'd like to do a novel, and am practising here. You may find my spelling a bit different sometimes, we do spell things differently in Europe, I'm realising more and more as I read you all here. I'm a linguist, basically, and words are important to me in whatever language. I like to get the right one, and am furious with myself when I can't find it (that happens more and more with age...). I'm glad you're my friend too Sam, I can't think what I've done to deserve such kindness, but I'm grateful for it.

Re: Vogue
Well I'm basically really lazy. But it all has to get done, and I've just learnt little by little that I can do anything anyone else can do, except life really heavy things. You have inspired me to write my today's piece!

I love how you take care of yourself. I kept thinking I want to see this place when the work is finished and there it was at the close. I am so excited for you. I know it is hard, even grueling at times but the reward at the end is so gratifying. What is your thought on a before and after picture.  I adore having you as my friend. I also wanted to say that you are a fine writer who holds my attention!  sam

You are obviously quite an accomplished DIY person. I admire that, myself just about being able to boil an egg.
