I’m on a wage,,, I can’t afford luxuries and I was once asked if drugs make me play music better,, no, but you think they do smile
If it helps me count better I’d have em all like a shot but sadly it’s not to be hehe

I got mine from Dunster House....longest part of the build was waiting for the cement base to harden.

Me and a mate had it all but built in a day.

Its fully insulated, has heating, its on WiFi network 5.1 surround sound system and a projector hooked to an Apple TV along withand slate effect laminate flooring. Its a nice home for the Chimaera smile

Link to the Google Photo Album of the build:

I’d say there’s a good few points to tie into and get right on this job so a bit of head scratching going on before committing sort of thing but it looks good to me Derek.
Look at all that extra room you’ll have to move around. Sound thumbup
