Things go wrong with houses and farm buildings however well built. When this happens your heart sinks and you cry, "Who the hell are we gong to get to fix this?" The answer is Gerry if you are lucky enough to know him. So far he has re-wired our fences, re-laid the floors in the stalls in the stable, re-surfaced the black top, straighten and sealed the gutters, replaced a rotting board and sealed a gap in the concrete thus preventing all manner of four legged beasts from entering the house. The picture below is of Gerry and his crew which consists of his girlfriend, his daughter, her fiancee, far right, and a friend who makes jewelry including bracelets made from

t-shirt sleeve cuttings.
