Thanks for the kind words Plowking. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oddly enough, I was pretty lousy at woodwork at school, and don’t have any qualifications in the building trade. What you need to build a house is really just to be insanely stubborn and determined, and to be able to doggedly put in a very large amount of hours.

I suppose you do also need a bit of a feel for space and composition, and of course a sense of humour is essential to keep you going. But after seeing your wonderful Dennis the Deathknight movie you clearly have an abundance of all those abilities. So I expect to see you embarking on a project to build "Plowking Towers" in the near future. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

(Oh, and I did also find it essential to have a fantastic wife who not only put up with all the hammering and swearing but who worked throughout and kept us afloat financially. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />)
