its grey and feels amazing, like its a mile deep. so happy with it, it changes colour sort of when you brush it different ways and i think it rules.

ive now put the wardrobe shelves/clothes hanger dealios together and Rhona has started filling her 7/8ths of the room with her crap.

That looks perfect for making carpet angels. 

[Lord Gruntfuttock]

I'm banned from owning sofas/carpets anything like that cos I can't stop myself writing rude words in'em...

[sheepers]

Get a Kirby vacuum they have spinning brush keeps the carpet nice and fluffy...... satisfying like a perfectly mowed lawn only indoors.

Interesting, we usually scope this as builders work for services (by the builder).

Not in 10 years have I ever seen a plumber put in his own nogs.

May be different for residential, however?

A bit late to the game here but ive had a 50/50 mix whether i install the nogs or the plumber does. The plumber ive got at my current site prefers to do the nogs himself as hes the one installing the vanity so he wants to make sure its done right. Either way, the nogs should have been installed at the pre-plumb stage and Sheepers shouldnt be out of pocket because of it.

[sheepers]

surprisingly enough he didn't try and charge me for it.

i was shocked.

 

 

anywho, pergola. i have to build it. my brother is giving me a hand. today we got the beam up and i laid out and bolted up all the brackets. i made them at work because i wanted to make a bit of a feature of the large stainless brackets so they are large and stainless. 

the rafters get checked around the spouting and they have fall on the top, we got all these cut today so now i have to paint them then i can stick them up.

pergola frame is almost done.

just got the two end beams to do and i need to finalise the batons that are supposed to go under the rafters. the way it was drawn would block all light in winter and let in max heat in summer, not ideal. so im just looking at some options for that.
