Shattered...and Almost Fed Up.

[gness]

But not quite...Finished the ponds and left side of garden so decided to dig where I have lifted the grass on the right..and some bu99er has buried a soddin' wall about an inch under the soil...no wonder the grass was poor.
So instead of digging and planting it's hiring a skip and breaking up what seems to be a long wall...
Unless it's the foundations of my house that I am demolishing in my enthusiasm.....

More Guinness and out with the sledge hammer....x

Are you allowed to mention fed-up, lol! Already one post down!

naughty gness ... i saw 'fed up' in the title and it made me twitch

Please don't start telling us about your bowel movements...

Do let us know if your house starts leaning to one side.

Oh heck....it's just something we say isn't it....Oh dammit..I'm fed up with the people who lived here before....and so on....Will use cheesed off in future though it doesn't fit so well with slab and wall smashing does it? :-(

Call the archaeologists in, maybe it's a burial sit, everything dug up in the interest of science!

Gness do check to make sure it's not part of the house's foundation, or some sort of wall to help with water drainage. My mum has a similar wall which help alleviate water from coming in/up when rain falls,

If you find human bones, cover them up and say nothing!

(Advice my parents received from a serving senior police officer when they were renovating their house!)

Is it Richard III's horse ?

[sunny-dave]

Don't tell Tesco if it is ... :)

[gness]

If I find anything I am saying nothing...I'll extend the patio....hope it hasn't a purpose, Society.....oh well we shall see.
I'ts side on to the hill I am on so maybe it's to stop my house heading for the A14...time will tell.

Are you doing all this construction by yourself or do you have a contractor, carpenter etc.?

It wasn't a brewery was it? Had the same thing once; the "buried wall" turned out to be the brick courtyard of an old brewery! If it is, keep any bottles you find; they may be worth money

[gness]

Well, if I extend the patio to cover any bodies I shall hire the dishy builder but the rest I am doing myself.....in fact...
A friend came to dinner recently...no prizes for guessing who cooked...and a wooden spoon was needed. I knew I had one somewhere because I used to make decorated wooden spoons for brides and this was a reject. No spoon in the kitchen...but I found it today...with my cement bucket.....it makes a good mixer for small amounts....and what you can do with a whisk is nobody's business! :-) xx

Fred...I dug up lots of old bottles in my last house and displayed them on a long pelmet. The carpet fitter was carrying in a roll of carpet..hit the pelmet and all the bottles flew into MrG's tropical fish aquarium.....bottles broke and fish died....:-( x
