To be honest if you do a proper strip out of all the timber in roof and floors you've just got a shell to bang away at.

If that gable end and the chimney stack had come down I don't think the cab on the Drott would have helped much. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Can see the attraction of doing that. Just a bit time-consuming.

Thank you Big Kit. I have replied via email with some photos. Depending on the outcome I think we should give CMN credit for giving us the opportunity to contact each other but at the same time keeping sensitive information to ourselves.

I hope that you would agree with this.

Regards - David.
