depends hammie,, get a jigsaw and try it on a piece! And I find that the better quality the laminate the easier the fit, but you have to push hard! Lol. X

Your blockwork would fail down south ian as we have to point both sides to get full joints.:(

Only cos we were too tight to use enough muck in between the joints... :giggler:

not much to report really, weather this week has been against us, but the roof is on and temp felted, doorway to hall out, lintels in, electrics being done Friday, as is plumbing,,

today I have to build the gables, only small but horrid building in the rain,,

plasterboarding and internals to be done on sat / mon and hopefully drains done by wed and finish before my big job kicks off on the 20 th!

raining again now and all day apparently, so it’s gonna be miserable, only ray of sunshine will be my steaming hot cups of Yorkshire tea!!

Good morning,,,

sorry I’ve been busy,, finished the little job on Tuesday, and then on wed I relaid a few slabs for an old girl up the road from there , who has a problem with her sight,, lovely old girl,, favour job, but no. The less rewarding!!

Been over to the new extension I start on Monday, organised a lot over the phone,, digger, dumper, muck away, building inspector, been to brick merchant and got a close match to the existing house!
The customer, Richard has a very good camera, and enjoys taking photos, so he’s offered to do a day to day pic album for my Facebook page, should be interesting!!

so I’m going to take my neighbour shopping this morning, and I shall also get a load for myself,, then I have been asked to re hang a couple of curtain poles that have come loose, for another neighbour,, so that’s gonna be my morning,,,,,chill out the weekend, then get a good early start on Monday,,,, so that’s it,,, Not much else to report,,

hooe your Friday and weekend goes well,,, weather is supposed to be nice,,chat later,,, enjoy!! Xxxx

Good Morning Ian, I know I don't post a lot on here but I do like to see how you are.
Lovely to see how you have settled in to your new home and gelled in with the neighbours.
Enjoy your Sunday off and I hope the sun stays out for you in the week to get on with the new job.
Enjoy your morning cuppa ☕ when you get up. 🙂
