Took 300 lb of concrete to do all the gaps (this is just the main bit). I bought my own mixer which worked well, but this is my first go so we will just have to see how the work holds up; fingers crossed. I'll start framing the walls in a couple of days once it's hardened a bit and I have got a skim coat of mortar on to level it out.
We have a similar problem with the Halifax, seems the only way they'll accept a change of address is to turn up in person at one of their branches with ID. No apparent way of doing it remotely with notaries or even a friendly local bank to verify identity. They'll know the old address is no longer valid because mail will have been returned as undeliverable.lasernigel wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 1:58 amJust received an email from the Co-Op bank who are changing their security log in and use of the card. Problem is I don't have a UK phone number and the card was sent to my daughter's address as mail is not secure here. All my pensions and payments go into the account, send over by Western Union. Panicking big time now, also having problems getting funds out of my old US bank, they need a US phone number as well. Been going on for months banks seem to make life as awkward as possible. Rant over.
Sunny again today but had a lot of storms recently.
What you doing tomorrow *F3* ?Fox3WheresMyBanana wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 8:04 amIt's the old back wall of a barn that was partly burned down in 1943 by a lightning strike, and was rebuilt eleven foot narrower with the remaining wood. It has numerous gaps at present, large and small, and the roof is shot. I am extending the barn back to its original foundation, so the new outside wall will be atop this. It also needs an entirely new roof, but 3/4 of the wall timbers and two main beams (one with the horses' names on) are fine. The final product will be sixty foot by thirty in 4 sections. I'll be making a proper second floor also, sixty foot by fourteen, by lifting the roofline a couple of feet. I'll do the new walls, then frame the new second floor to make a work platform, then strip off the old roof, then build the new. I need to get it done asap, as I think otherwise another winter with 20 foot of snow will flatten it. At least I have a/c now for when I duck back inside the house.
At least phone them and ask to speak to an intelligent person.lasernigel wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 1:58 amJust received an email from the Co-Op bank who are changing their security log in and use of the card.

We did get the booking though a £35,000 holiday for a family of four if I remember correctly. Our biggest ever. 2 weeks on safari and 1 week in the Seychelles.
