As I said before mate, more than welcome to come after the others are gone if you want. The place is yours for as long as you like, as long as we can come to visit at the weekends!

...Nothing has changed! And hope to keep it that way
Came across this clip this morning, brought back memories of last year.
Transfăgărăşan - best road in the world

Great. [emoji4] Reminds me of some of the roads round Bognor.
Potholed, breaking up and in need of resurfacing.
Otherwise what a great road! Well done Clive's father in law. [emoji4]

Cheers Rich, I'll get a message to him!
I was also wondering, not that the roads around Bognor aren't beautiful and challenging, but I don't remember any of them rising to, and descending from, circa 2400 m above sea level...

Crikey…it's not his job to maintain it still is it?…[emoji4]
I'm afraid I've never heard Bognor's roads described as beautiful Clive. Doing the pothole slalom at night could be described as challenging though…[emoji35].
In fairness we are getting a brand new road, a bypass with a sweeping viaduct over the railway and rife which rises at its peak to probably 24m above sea level…it's only 5 years later than promised 'cos the house builders had to pay for it, and maintain it for the next 100 years by all accounts. So that'll be full of potholes and cracks once the company goes bust then.
You'd think so to hear him sometimes!
I have a theory that the worse a road is, the better for me in my truck. I can hit almost anything the potholes throw at me, and the truck takes them in its stride. Otherwise, the general public find another way, and I get a traffic free road.
It's a proven theory, when they lay new asphalt, there are traffic queues....
With apologies in advance for cribbing in on ratrace's thread, we've been making some progress in the extension ('bout time too) 
The 4 extra rooms are almost finished, except for the flooring. Yet the en-suite bathrooms hadn't even started when the forum guys last visited at the end of August last year.
So, work has gone ahead with paneling out in waterproof/resistant plasterboarding, all rooms done now to that stage. The present phase is tiling the bathrooms.
Room 1 (beige #1)
Still just plasterboard, but with some mods done to the plumbing, lessons learned from the work done in the other rooms...
Room 2 (blue)
Excellent progress, tiling finished, all but the cut row around the skirting, and grouting up yet to do.
Room 3 (green)
Boarding and plumbing mods done and 2 walls tiled...
Room 4 (beige #2)
As with room 3, boarding and plumbing mods done, with 2 walls tiled...
And, boards for the bedroom floors, which have spent 2 years in a drying room at my neighbour's house (Nicu, the carpenter) are getting stacked up in the hallway... ready for laying.
It's March, 6 months from September, but looking promising to be able to offer some extra accommodation, if required.
Maybe, no guarantees yet ....

That's 'her' department Shayne...
I'm impressed Clive, is Aura good at wiring multiple bell circuits then? [emoji6][emoji4][emoji4]
I expect she knows a man that can do lots of things like my Lynn does Clive…[emoji4][emoji4]
