I was with relatives who live in the US these days. They in fact live in the ore affluent section of a massive city which has always suffered desparately un the hurricane season. There have been some truly terrifying ones of note in recent decades where most of the suburbs were simply wrecked and absolutely washed away. We in the […]

Renovations on any age of house can only be undertaken by folk who have a good understanding of buildings and how their construction took place.

There is one major trunk road very close by – for years, once you get past the town area itself, this has led to fields either side. The houses that are popping up […]

There are a great number of lifestyle programmes on tv currently – a lot of new ones were imported from the US and Canada during the recent pandemic lockdowns. It’s fascinating watching how the n.american renovations take place – their homes look to be much flimsier builds to start with – they look more plasterboard and flatpack. This was apparent […]

Where I live in my lovely comfortable family home, I am constantly grateful for the space, the warmth and convenience of having a home constructed to the latest building methods available in the early 2000s!
