I have not done much to tower build lately . In the pictures no4 building i had to dismantle and rebuild as i had built it wrong as you can see the angle of the building in the picture . The no4 building has not been glued done yet as a set of steps have to be built and put in before building no4 can go in and be glued down. :thumb2::upside::hugging-face:........sue

I contacted aedes ars about size scale their reply was, The medieval tower is not based on an actual building its not a real tower hence why no scale size. But they do give a scale size of 1-100.

That is an excellent suggestion Sue and you would be wise to take advantage of Chris's offer, as long as Jen is agreeable, of course. Did I hear you say you have six inches of snow in the land down under? Post up a couple pics please.......didn't realize it did snow there....must go back to school and retake Geography....Duh...:nerd: Rick H.

You get to trading standards and kick butt Sue. Was the guy even qualified to carry out electrical work? I may be wrong, but I thought these days they are supposed to give you a certificate of safety after electrical work has been completed? I would also recommend that you ask them to demonstrate what work they’ve done and ensure you are satisfied with the quality before you pay. This sort of thing makes my blood boil! The vast majority of tradesmen are hard working and reliable, but these sort of idiots tarnish the reputation of the trades as a whole!

Citizens' Advice might also be helpful Sue. They gave me some good free advice a few years ago when I was ripped off by a chap refitting my bathroom, and I understand they put him on a register of dodgy workmen.

Thanks Sue.....It has finally snowed here as well.......I was beginning to wonder if winter would ever get here.
Oh, I almost forgot, The temps have plunged from a pleasant 25-30 deg. F to -1 during the daytime to -15 at night. Wind chill as low as -26 deg. F. I almost got out me electric knickers! :tongue-out3: TTFN, Rick H.

Hi Rick, well here on the coast Thursday night it got as low as - 4 that's cold for here. Half a mile down the road from me the road was blocked with snow blown off the fields the only way out with to drive through the town. If it gets cold again I mite have to borrow your electric undies . At the moment the pavements and minor side roads are a sheet of ice with compacted snow ❄️, I need to learn ice skating or skiing ..... Sue

Hi Rick. The tower is coming on slowly due to cold weather , I've built the steps but I have to put bricks on building before I can put building no4 in place. With this kit the ceramic bricks are smaller in size than manger build. Only instructions are a picture and a sheet written in English as to how to build the tower. I'm going to get bricking tomorrow then post some pictures. It's sounds very very cold where you live crumbs brrrrr...... Sue.

HI SUE looking forward to seeing the bricking of the tower dont forget to make it look spooky an hope you are well
