Arrrrgh "I think" is not a fact. I can now see why you got banned previously, you just argue for arguements sake. I pity your missus.

Re The pyramids..It gets very cold in the desert* ( where they got the stone from ) at night, freezing ( or below temperatures are a regular occurrence, sometimes multiple times per week, even now with global warming ). *all deserts, not just those along the north African med coast.Rock...

Yes..We live in an area with 99% of the houses having slate roofs ( Brittany ). In Ireland a large part of my home area had / has slate roofs.I know Wales very well, most of the houses in North Wales have / had slate roofs.

Hmmmm, expensive, appears well engineered, but expensive.I seem to remember some of the larger caravans back in the late 60s and early 70s having what they describe as a Murphy bed , or a vertical bed. The kind that had three double beds, one fixed, one that was the bay window seats and used a...

Strikes me as rather like saying that because you can do some things "one handed" that you'll tie the other hand behind your back. It isn't like you have to use the vice just because you fitted it, but it is much easier to fit it at the beginning than to retro fit it later.

clic-clac ( click-clack) sofas..you can make , or buy them. Very common in french "studio appartments" or as fold out guest beds.Also look at 3 part foam beds, exist in singles or doubles.

You don't bleach*, you use sodium hypochlorite solution ( sold for sterilising babies bottles ) and then rinse off. *word normally used to refer to solution of at least 6-8% Cl .

"Kiln Dried, yard soaked", seems to be the motto of most builders' merchants" FTFY :cool:
