Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may have been given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.

My house roof has been leaking and this week we had a roofer there to fix it.   He did an excellent job and as a result I've got about 36 old concrete roof tiles to take back to the Mochdre Waste Disposal site.    He also filled 4 garden bags with moss but
they can be collected with the normal  household collection rubbish.
I took the 36 tiles back to Mochdre today and they were weighed and the cost was £18.00.   It was very quiet there with about 3 or 4 vehicles disposing of rubbish but the person I spoke to said that business has definitely slowed down since the charges were imposed.

Think I would have buried the roof tiles in the garden.

yeah, that or have snuck a few in the bin each month  :P

Its weather like today that reminds me how silly our recycling system is. Our house is very open and we end up with a yard full or recycling getting blown around. On my lunchtime walk today and there are individual recycling bins blown all over the place with their trolleys laying on their side stripped of all containers. Why does CCBC recycle this way, is it due to a lack of sorting station as it makes no sense?

I was disappointed to read in the NWWN that the fly tippers have been in action on the top of the Great Orme.   It's not surprising, but CCBC have got to do something about it before it gets out of hand and they should install CCTV cameras or covert cameras on the Orme.

Any chance you can recommend the roofer please Hugo?

His name is Gareth Williams and his mobile number is 07768004776 and I must say how pleased we were with his work.   He was recommended to me by a plasterer who has worked on my house recently and I've spoken to others since, who have been very pleased with his work also.
Our house needed scaffolding but his son is a scaffolder and it was all arranged for us.    Both prices were very reasonable    $good$

I can see many people burning waste in the back garden, Bevans in the Bay View Centre have very good garden incinerators for just £10!

Works well! This was some woodworm infested plywood!

It looks good on its side just like a rocket.      I could do with that inside my house right now, that some serious burning ME.  $good$

Know what you men Hugo, we have just had a new boiler to replace ours which was well over 30 years old and spent almost 48 hours without heat or hot water whilst it was fitted. It was like going back 50 years to when all we had was a coal fire ! We now have clouds of steam shooting out into the back yard !
