Bullets run.....

It came, it was erected and he doesn't like it

The blokes got it up in quick time and even erected the dog kennel we ordered too ....

The run looks amazing ...we covered the floor in astro turf, put some Ramps and shelves in at different levels so he can climb even a tunnel ....he's got his cat litter in there, a new house and some toys .....it looks great fun in there lol

I've been putting him out after his breakfast in a morning for just half hour for some fresh air, he's not keen yet but he will get used to it ...he is calmer in the house I've noticed though so it must be doing something for him ....if it stays dry tomorrow I will try get piccies

Sounds brill    we definately need to see the pics   

Im sure he will get used to it    Are you eventually going to let him out    or will he be a reluctant indoor cat from now on   

He will get used to it...it was quite a mild day here until after lunch so while the dogs were outside drying off from their walk I put him in the run with some extra dinner ... He was miaowing at the dogs

I've taken some pictures, as soon as I've loaded them to photo fucket I will post them

 
He will probably feel better if hes got some company while hes out   

need piccies c'mon!!!!!

Oooh haven't stopped all day....we've made alterations to the cat run ....we've built an inside bit to it so he can hide away should he want too .... So I will post some piccies tomorrow :)

We started out in the garden today at 9.30am and after doing all sorts of odd jobs and going to the skip and shops I finally sat down at 6.20pm

Tomorrow the madness starts again with the workmen

Oh what are you having done    

Ive been sitting here wondering where to start with this house    so much needs doing to it   

Im waiting for an electrician to get back to me to give me a quote to change some of the lights and sockets about and put a cooker switch in     can you believe the woman bought a brand new gas hob and electric oven the week before we moved in and  didnt get the oven connected because theres no cooker switch    
Ive had a new cooker so if anyone on here needs an oven or hob let me know  The oven has never been used   

Really .... I suppose she had so much on her mind

Were having a whole new central heating system fitted from scratch...... I'm bloody freezing and fed up with the mess

  I think its because there is no proper cooker socket    the electric sockets in this house are s**t so i think it will eventually need a re wire   thats why im in no hurry to decorate atm I think im gonna wallup some paint on the walls in the lounge for now just to freshen it up   
The electrician i rang hasnt called me back    looks like i will have to look for a different one    shame because he sounded pretty good with loads of good reviews   

I dont envy you getting a new heating system from scratch    been there and done that   

Can just imagine its not very nice getting that done in this cold weather   
Hopefully it will get done quickly   

We need a total rewire too Bren ....shall leave it for a few years yet though, were skint and also going to wait for my brother to take his electricians course in the army so he can do it for us legally lol

I could get you the number for my electrician it used for the old house.... They are amazing.... But I'm not sure if they would come from Ashbourne though

I wish I had thought really carefully about having a heating system installed from scratch it's awful thank god we've got the cat run though...that one less hassle.... Nothing has gone to plan, the whole house has been a nightmare, it's been put together by bodge it and fix it the gas heater in the sun room was dangerous,if it wasn't for the bloody gaps in it we would have been gassed ... Need to get the gas fires checked next I think and apparantly the Emerson heater was all wired up wrong and probably the rest of the house is too ...it can bloody wait though for a bit

  That sounds terrible    
I thought this house was bad but yours sounds worse   

We knew this one needed alot of work when we bought it    so it hasnt come as a shock       Its just a pain trying to decide what to get done first finance wise    everything is so expensive    I bet your electrician wouldnt travel this far    we are over the other side of Stafford so atleast an hours drive     Im sure the other guy i rang hasnt called me back because of the distance and hes only in Stone   
Ive been pricing the fencing up today   i did want a decorative one but   it would cost a fortune     so i think its just bog standard for the back and possible a nicer one for the front when we can afford it      ive ordered a 40 foot lunge line today so Mickey can have a proper run about without me having to worry about him squeezing through the fence at the back if he spots the sheep   hes such a little bugger i just cant trust him    
Atleast when all the work is done we can both relax knowing its been done properly   

Oooh Hun ....you've got loads to do at least it was staring you in the face the work you needed to do .... Ours is all hidden behind beautiful decorating and lovely furnishings lol


I wouldn't trust Fred in an unfenced garden either .... I

The garden is fenced all the way round but its very flimsy in certain places especially the bit that backs onto the farmers field where the sheep are    
Its a right mess with cut down panels, panels with holes in and various different size panels
Theres about three different colours on them aswell it really does look crap    
There are concrete posts in atm but theyre all different sizes which is a pain in the bum   the posts are only 4 ft max   so im gonna have to have a small fence    Luckily our garden is higher up then next doors so the drop into their garden would add another 2 or 3 feet so i dont think the dogs would jump over     There are trees and plants infront of the panels  as well    
The neighbour was telling us the previous owner was always changing panels or nailing bits on    he wasnt very complimentary about him    
How did you find out about your heating system     was it broke when you moved in   
What a letdown for you finding out about all the problems after you moved in    
Ive left a message for another electrician again today but not had a call back yet  
    i want my new cooker put in     even if means i wont have any units afterwards    
Ive been on the ikea website today designing my new kitchen     i have no patience   

   Dont forget your pics   

Oooh yes ... Pics

Hmmm couldn't you add 2ft high trellising all around the top of the 4ft part of your fence?? Would give you peace of mind for mickey

I hope you find an electrician soon Hun ...very frustrating

The heating system was shyte, but not as shyte as we discovered, so it's a good job we had it done sooner rather than later!!!!.....
The builder went on top of the car port today to put a flue in the wall and he noticed that the screws used to fix the roof to the wall were too small so that's another job, but one that my fella can do thankfully
It's never ending

The joy of moving   

I hate the expense and mess of all the work but i love designing and changing everything   

I get a buzz out of turning a s**t tip into a nice house    then once ive done it i usually want to move and start again    but not this time   

Good job they spotted the problem with the carport    with these winds it could get blown away   

I did think about the trellis but not sure how i could attach it without the post height   
I may just plant some spikey plants or bushes infront of the most exposed bits    alot of it has already got trees infront of it

Bloody hell Bren I didn't even think of that

I don't think it's that dire yet ....bloody hope not anyway


Hmm spiky plants is a good idea ... Or electric fencing

So hows bullet doing    and wheres the photos you promised   

   Just read the previous post and electric fencing sounds good    I bet idiot boy would just end up electrocuting himself    

Hahahaa idiot boy


There's not been any nice weather for taking pics.... Did i not post any of the run ...

  You forgot   

No pics of the run, nor the house from both of you   

  Ive posted some house pics   

Will post some before and after pics when i get some work done    still got lots of stuff boxed up so its easily moved when the workmen come in   

Aggghhhh bloody photo fucket won't let me upload them
