[lace-chat] Ever pulled down a ceiling?
Dear Friends, I'm amazed that this computer is still working tonight!!! You see, I spent all day today pulling down the ceilings in my kitchen and office. You cannot imagine the mess Martha eat your heart out. This is a 120 year old miner's cottage and I am not joking when I tell you that I actually removed 2 wheel-barrow loads of straw from old birds' nests (Not in my time). I probably shouldn't mention the odd fossilized rats. The dust was almost like soot. When the kitchen ceiling came down the entire room was more than 6 (12 cm) deep in it and it billowed into every single nook and cranny in the whole house, whether doors were shut or not I've done a huge clean up already, but not in too much detail as tomorrow Lindsay and I will be replacing the ceilings and will probably create nearly as much again. I can see a huge domino effect happening here - like mending walls, painting, new windows. That'd be OK if the money was available - which it isn't :) Love David in Ballarat - God I need you tonight.

[lace-chat] Secret Pal thanks
Hi Secret Pal, This is my first chance to get on the computer since opening up your gifts !! Thank you so much for the lovely pressies. I will try and use the spider and web biscuit mould over the holiday and will also use the recipe book and measuring spoons too. As I work in a school I have 2 weeks off work so there is no excuses for not doing any cooking !! Thank you also for the chocolate tree which my husband definitely has his eye on !! Sorry if I have forgotten anything and I hope that your secret pal was as good to you. Enjoy the rest of Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Anne Nicholas in Hanworth, Middx.

As it was very hot DH and I decided that people were easier to clean than clothes, so we carried out the entire operation each wearing no more than a hanky triangle across the nose to keep the dust out. During one of the sorties down into the bedroom I leant against the wall, leaving a perfect bum print. This stayed there for many years, hidden behind some furniture, until we sold the house when it got a quick lick of paint. -- To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I probably shouldn't mention the odd fossilized rats. The dust was almost like soot. When the kitchen ceiling came down the entire room was more than 6 (12 cm) deep in it and it billowed into every single nook and cranny in the whole house, whether doors were shut or not We bought a similar house first time round. The first night we moved in I cried because I looked up at the bright milo tin green ceiling and could see the stars outside through the gap in the roof. The tiny lounge had a door on every wall, so no furniture would fit in it. the ceiling in the lounge was constructed of lining boards which the previous owners had painted flatblack. It took five coats of one coat ceiling paint to cover it and because of the lining boards it had to be studiously paited with a paint brush, not rolled. The house was constructed of red gum which becomes so hard after 100 years that you can't nail it. You have to predrill every nail, wasn't that fun for a fixer uper. Good luck with the renovations David, they are infectious! Cheers, Yvonne.
