OK its no secret my husband is a property developer and I just moved into a farmhouse recently developed…. thing is its in the middle of farm buildings, barns piggeries etc which are also being developed.

My question is how do I keep mud out of the farmhouse without annoying the builders developing other parts of the site? Incidentally its a 1.5 mile walk to the nearest main road so please don’t suggest walking from there. Its a puzzlement and very frustrating.

Teapot :x

you leave your hunter wellies out side yer front door
you dont walk any where out side unless its in yer wellies
put them on as soon as you leave your house
take them off just before you enter :roll:

oh by the way blue hunters are very today

I was given my hunter wellies for my birthday…………..I love em!!!

I do have wellies which I leave in a wet room attached to the porch, I still get mud in the house though oh well will just have to stop being a clean freak for a while!

:roll: :roll:

Not DIY as such:

If you have stainless steel equipment in your kitchen, ie cooker chimneys, hob splashbacks etc. Soak baby oil onto some kitchen towel and rub over the surface to get rid of grease and finger marks. Leaves it nice and shiny and clean.

A couple of years ago we had a slow leak from our hot water tank which sits just above the kitchen, and the artexed ceiling in the kitchen was watermarked. We left it for a few months to dry out then painted it, but each time we paint the ceiling it looks fine for a short while then the watermark starts showing through again.

How do we get rid of it?

I think you paint over it with undercoat then paint with emulsion as normal. Not sure though, let’s see what our resident builder comes up with :lol:

Well being single I can imagine you do Gaz. Is your status due to the fact you do not want to conform with the rest of the sheep and be a couple? She might want to buy a house with a nice picket fence and have 2.4 children and drive a nice car. Heaven forbid she may even want you to save up so you can send your children to private school :lol:
Bet your glad your single :wink:

Raise your rum glass …
