well, the men have been over to look at our garden drainage, wot they installed in 2010, and say a couple of the pipes seem to have sunk in the middle, meaning they're no longer working properly. We will probably have to renew and upgrade them, as I'm sick of raking moss off the lawn and finding dinosaurs romping in the swamp at the end of the garden.
Monday we hope another man will make a start on creating a new fence to replace the one that blew over in one of the storms. After that I might have to start thinking about the damp on inside walls. Ah, property ownership is wonderful.
