A word of warning: never buy a two-storey house unless you are a former member of the Cirque du Soleil! I'm not as I already get light-headed just from looking down to tie my shoelaces.
So when one gable end on the house came loose, I called in the experts with scaffolding and a head for heights. One was John, a carpenter, the other Sunny, grandson of a German friend - "Sunny side up!" Get it? 😄
The job is done, and we already discussed a few more urgent repairs. I hope BHP will keep paying those healthy dividends to pay for them all.
