Paul,

That is an interesting scene and very nicely made with lots to see.

 

[Steve Jones]

Very nice Paul. As Scottie says there is a lot going on to hold the viewers interest. I particularly like the tile work. Very nice indeed sir:thumb2::thumb2:. Thanks for sharing

 

[minitnkr]

Thanks gents. Steve, I'm unsure about your "tile work" comment? PaulE

 

[Guest]

Love it Paul, so much to see .
Tell Richard I've gone to get more coke for the fire. That big German keeps looking at me !

The haphazard shape of the tiles and the colour variation made the roof stand out for me:thumb2:

 

[minitnkr]

Gotcha Steve. The other English calls these shingles. My bad. PaulE

The other English calls these shingles.

That's a nasty disease over here Paul!

Here too Pete, but I never had Mumps.:hungry: PaulE

Here too Pete, but I never had Mumps.:hungry: PaulE

Isn't it chickenpox that leads to shingles? I never had mumps either, but had a bad dose of shingles a few years ago.

[minitnkr]

Not sure obviously. Didn't have those either:smiling2:. Sorry to hear that. PaulE

 

[Mini Me]

Paul, you must have lived in a bubble. By the time I was 12 I had all that and more lol!
Peter is correct, the chicken pox and shingles are the relative ailments. Hey, I think the roof looks good too! Cheers, Rick H.

I see the rabble have turned this into a Doctors help page .:smiling2::smiling2: !

I used to suffer from slates. I would turn grey, have moss grow on me and find I had to nail myself in to places to stand up. The good thing was I didnt have to wear a coat when it rained. Its similar to getting tiles but you dont feel as heavy but you are more fragile. Medication is a few sips of Aquaseal each day. The illness of being slated only lasts a few days and then you feel a lot more in line with everything.

Bubble hell. Almost died as an infant of whooping cough, only to almost die of measles at 5yrs.
Ahh, slates. The "forever roofing". Very popular in the Eastern US at the turn of the century. Some are still in use here in Dayton, Ohio over a hundred years later. That's a long time here in the US, unlike the rest of the world. PaulE

Thought Dzohns' chair looked lonely. Here's JR energetically admonishing the Heer for not compensating him per pamphlet in hand.
Will try to finish this dio now. PaulE

 

[scottie3158]

Hi Paul,
It's good to see this on the go again.

 

[Mini Me]

Nice, I shall follow along. Rick H.

 

[Guest]

Ah Paul my seat, great that this is back. I've been outside in this warm weather but now things have reverted to normal I shall need that seat.
Yes that German took my prize pig and made off with it, the b***er !!!

[Mickc1440]

Always so much to see in your pieces of work Paul, nice one.

 

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen. Mojo's a bit low due to persistant gray days & SWMBOs' harrasment for taking up her bay in the garage w/model RR benchwork & not getting rid of the "vette" (the other bay houses the Corvette), but will push through. PaulE
