Don33e Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) Hi All, I was recommend to join this forum some time ago by @Pocster, I have always wanted to build my own house, but a porch, rear extension and above the garage will have to do for now. I am sure I will have loads of questions, and request some feedback etc.... Cheers Don Edited August 12 by Don33e 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Welcome. If @Pocster recommended you then we can only assume you are a female hostage victim and your release fee was to build something over many decades. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, fair enough, but don't buy a second-hand car from him or anything that looks vaguely like glass , especially if the glass has footprints on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, no motorways in Norfolk, but not 100 miles to the M11 - the closest I suspect maybe 40 miles. The M11 gets gets you to the bottom of the A11 which is still in Essex - the A11 / A14 bit of the run is good through Cambridgeshire & Suffolk then, when you switch back to the A11 and head for Norwich and into Norfolk, they hit you with a selection of annoyingly busy roundabouts interspersed by some great bits of dual carriageway.

Tourist numbers in Cornwall are down 40% this year, that is partly down to the decline in holiday homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 1 hour ago, MikeSharp01 said: what way have they declined one wonders, fewer of them According to the local rag, many have gone back to residential properties, rather than holiday let business. From chatting to other people it seems that many if the smaller, cheaper, hotels are below capacity. We are having a good summer, which is strange as the weather has been been good, visitor attractions generally do better on rainy days. Yesterday was a record day, third this summer. Only 3 more weeks of summer left, roll on September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say that as I only get to build full time in the vacation - then I am back on the semi retired part time role I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
