My house would be 100% better if...

[Dayvo]

I have unlimited supply to wood for a fire, but unlike our last flat, we don't have a wood burner in our new flat.

Removing (exterminating) the five young kids from the flat above, would make a tremendous improvement to my sanity and rid me of any psychopathic tendencies.

An au pair to keep the house clean, look after my teenage daughter and to keep the wife on her toes!

Eee, I've not heard the word chimley for years. I used to work with a guy who said it all the time, well whenever he had cause to say chimney he did anyway, you know what I mean

I will see your 'chimley', and raise you a 'chimbley'. Or even a 'chimberley'.

A large pond in the garden for the fishes

Large ponds are a nightmare. I spend all my time rescuing the thing from itself. Herons, duckweed, blanket weed, freezing over, silting up.......... And with a big pond you can't simply go down the pond shop and buy some chemicals to sort it because you would need an enormous quantity for a big pond. BTDTGTTS.

BOOM!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee That's the adult neighbours to my left fired to kingdom come. The kids are fine . Now our house could just be improved by larger chickitt ? windows to the shower room and 2nd bedroom.

 

[slowmotion]

.....we had one of these....

A couple of years ago I was considering a move out of town and asked an architect to suggest any changes to the house which might maximise the sales value. He suggested knocking it down and selling the land as a building plot.

My ideal house is probably a one bedroom shed. (one about the size of B&Q would do nicely)

I'd put woodburner at the top of my list, pref. one to heat the water too. We don't even have a chimney and I really miss a decent fire.
Second would be a slightly bigger garden although with the fields behind, it can seem big enough, but there's no room for a pond which I would love.
Third, I'd swap our roof tiles for pantiles with some good gaps to give swifts a home in the summer.

That would be immeasurable.

However, your presence, or not, does not materially affect the quality of the house, just the pleasure and happiness that is within it.

......And if I had the money, I'd employ someone to look after it.


Actually, I suppose a Brewery next door would be nice......or at least my own home brewing kit.

remove the neighbours

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Remove the rest of the family and be left in blissful peace!

a garage that was not full of bikes

 

[marzjennings]

... it had a swimming pool, so I'm getting one dug this winter for fun 'n' stuff for next summer.

If I could persuade the family to chuck some stuff out and declutter the place. And if the lad and his mrs moved out and left the place to just me and the MRS that would be nice to.
