      Finish the conversion that they had planned, pretty much.

      When complete, it will only be four/five beds, but each room will be large and there's a MASSIVE lounge (over 3500 square feet)

      Plenty to do over a number of years, but the first stage is to get the bits of the roof repaired and then get the floor in the bits that need a floor building.

        You have a lounge that is roughly 60 feet * 60 feet?

        If you and the wife are at other ends will you use a mobile?

        Are you planning you build the worlds biggest scalextrix or summat?

          24 metres long, 16 metres wide at it's widest.

          The floor area that still needs completing is 350m2 (or close enough)

          I'm going to have to get a walkie talkie for the children so that we can track them down where they are in the house, and goodness knows how we'll find the chihuahua

                Thank you, this weekend I will mostly be:

                Met a GILF in the pub last night
                Just got up, staying in with a pizza, beer and football (Bundesliga starts today) this evening
                Frankfurt to the Apfelweinfest tomorrow with some good friends (celebrating some birthdays)
                Chilling, paperwork and cooking on Sunday

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Drive to Devon tonight.
                    Pick up repaired Murano tomorrow, See my father, 2 of my issue and the grand children.
                    Drive back to London Sunday p.m. after a lie in.

                      so Chef is having problems 'getting wood' in Sweden?

                      Sorry

                      seriously:
                      Did you see that link about using a juicer, they were talking about doing a fair amount with a tabletop device. Tried doing it in a press a few times (Old friend has a liking for making Cider ), its fun at first then it just gets boring, they are a pig to keep clean, you don't get as much juice(apparently) and there is storing it. The juicer looked a lot easier.
