Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman.

Good evening all, SC Sorry to hear about your Rash, Hope it improves soon. Have you tried something like Bepanthon Cream?

Well the Decorating move on a stage today, at least we have somewhere to sit now. Doglees are happier cos there is a new rug in front of the fire.

Tomorrow will be another busy day, so in a short while it's off up the wooden hill for yours Truly.

Regards all, Handy

Something to scare cat mites?

Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman.

Boring Boring Boring, That's Handy's life at the moment. To the former you can also add Knockered. I like decorating but when it goes on as long as this? (no answer to that).

Mrs Handy wants a total revamp. I have moved every piece of furniture in the house at least 3 times tonight. If we had a place the size of Hooray Hall, we could still fill it 3 times over.

Does anyone want a bed settee, you will need to collect or organise a courier. 5 years old, not a mark on it, Cost £600. It opens out into a proper double. Its a light Beige fabric.

Up for offers A very Large oil painting of a Victorian or Edwardian
Hunt meet in the style of Stubbs @ 43 inches by 30 by a certain G Burgess, painted in the late 40's early 50's. Bought in error as we don't have a spare wall large enough. The names notorious but I cant prove provenance although he came from the west country.


You want to see what else we don't have room for? It will be next week before I get the time to post Photo's of what we have done to the place, Then she who must be obeyed wants everything else doing before Christmas. (I cant promise which year though).

Regards all, Handy (can anyone find me a smiley for Knockered? ).

I could adopt or foster it, as I have space on my walls.

Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman.

Hi all, If, Looloo you can shake them at Handy as much as you like tonight The Tiredness has reached record levels. I didn't mention before but we have had Trapfly back since Tuesday

So as well as the normal work, the decorating, I have been running about after him as well.

Tomorrow after a full day at work, I have a 250 mile drive oop North. Saturday it's a year since Mil passed away and Mrs Handy wants to visit the grave. I also want to see my Mum as I have only had the chance to visit twice this year.

I won't take the lappy with me this time as it's going to be a busy couple of days (even by my standards).

A proper update Sunday or Monday.

For now regards to all, Handy

Some time next week I will post up a photo. I still can't find any other examples of work by G Burgess LINKGuy Burgess

If I could find poof that this was the same G Burgess, I wouldn't be parting with it. We got the painting for pocket money as the dealer was packing up and didn't want to risk damaging it in the back of his van.

Probably painted by someone completely different but you can always hope. Maybe I watch too much Antiques Road Show.

Hi Handy, awwww bless you xx

Blimey a year, thats gone fast!!

You take care and we'll see you when you get back

Re: Hooray Hall. Adventures of a Handyman.

Hi all. If, your right the last year has flown by.

Well just as I said a busy old weekend. We paid our respects, did some shopping at B&Q (more decorating coming up). Saw the Grand kids (and parents ).

Remember the panic over the mortgage payments a couple of weeks ago? Sunday was Sil's Brothers wedding, from somewhere they have found the cash for a hotel, new clothes (Dress from East for DD) and a big wedding prezzie.Oh and because it's a Sunday Wedding, he was taking Monday off work to get over it.

Trapfly paid them a visit last week, before coming down to us, Sil told him that it was only a minor hiccup with the mortgage and that the arrears are almost paid off now. Trapfly said I bit my tongue, because he didn't realise I was with you while you were sorting things out for him.

More on Trapfly tomorrow. I can happily report that he and his van have gone (to create trouble elsewhere).

Now all I have to do is get enough work done around the Hall, to keep Lady Hooray Happy when she gets back on Thursday.

For now Regards to all, Handy
