Two steps forward, one step backwards.

Did you also notice how I avoided the temptation to build a multi-million pound Dome in my back garden.<br /><br />Hadriana - I wish you luck with your projects for 2010 and look forward to reading about them in due course. If I may offer a little advice from experience - snow isn't the most durable of building materials.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279890687481412751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-19412651663555972642010-01-18T17:05:37.055+00:002010-01-18T17:05:37.055+00:00Like the self build idea too.

If we get the little house sold (fingers crossed) we could be doing some "boring" self build stuff as well. <br /><br />The idea is to build an extension (with green credentials) onto the side of the B&B and we move into the former B&B and turn it back into a family home. Here's to 2010 being a good year to carrying out our plan!Hadriana's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740533954842010870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-53999384942994603792010-01-18T15:28:44.060+00:002010-01-18T15:28:44.060+00:00My word, you excelled yourself.

Fortunately we have bought a house that requires significant updating, so some of your green credentials are being implemented, to a greater or lesser extent. I'm anticipating boring everyone senseless over the next 6 months or so with stories about the renovations.<br /><br />Of course I'm hoping it will last us a little longer than yours has...Catharine Withenayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936767499911371984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-49601218400116813902010-01-13T10:11:09.604+00:002010-01-13T10:11:09.604+00:00Thanks for the smile this morning!Thanks for the smile this morning!Elaine Denninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640829930815645105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-18883976306900874342010-01-13T04:55:22.691+00:002010-01-13T04:55:22.691+00:00OMG ROFLMAO, now that's not what I expected, b...OMG ROFLMAO, now that's not what I expected, but I should have known better!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09542425639950850366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-33275435537559233722010-01-12T23:40:15.767+00:002010-01-12T23:40:15.767+00:00Thanks Helen,your comment brought a big grin to my...Thanks Helen,your comment brought a big grin to my face as I'm never sure if people will share my humour.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279890687481412751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-80264224082887069052010-01-12T21:50:29.208+00:002010-01-12T21:50:29.208+00:00Brilliant!Brilliant!HelenMWaltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16182100572365505905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-4687718014299764412010-01-12T20:14:48.094+00:002010-01-12T20:14:48.094+00:00I guess your experience shows one significant diff...I guess your experience shows one significant difference between us and snowmen.
