VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Philip Banks · Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 4:49 pm Post subject: Wee Huttie II

Back in '54 when Elvis was the Prince of Pebble and Tilt I decided that my Wee Huttie needed some work. I contacted a joiner and builder then ripped it apart leaving only a useable Heath Robinson shell. It worked fine but was a short term measure. 432 years later, no sign of the tradesmen. Saturday was D-Day for me. Do I wait any longer? No. Called a company in London and in around 10 days time a "Wee Huttie II" will arrive in a van. I have to attack my office with a few power tools to get it ready and then get a few heavy lifters in to help me install my room within a room .... We get there in the end.

Philip,

I'd be happy to lend a hand if it's not finished before I arrive. I'm heavy and I've been known to lift things now and then. Laugh

What was wrong with Wee Huttie the First?
I thought you had a noise floor that couldn't be got for less than $50,000 or something.

No window and a damp problem in one wall. All was and to a degree still is fine. It's just easier to wibble and wobble, move to the left and do builder type stuff than it is to move house - Truth is, we like it here and don't need a bigger house but we do need some different shapes and spaces.

Congratulations on the new addition and may it be as fabulous and productive as the first.

Call from the delivery company this afternoon. One ton of panels, flooring, roof and a five layer Bavarian loaded door will arrive late on Tuesday.

"Bavarian loaded door"?

Does that mean it's full of yummy creme pudding?

I hope Anne makes Jazz a "Construction Foreman" kerchief. I am sure he'll oversee all aspects of this adventure, and he needs to look the part.
