What's the extent of the work, Roger? Are we talking refit inside, structural work, what? Are you able to do it all yourself?

I'd love to, I've been meaning to call down to the club for a while.
Number 9 seems the easiest! Good luck with it. I love seeing old things cherished and restored. Should keep you busy.
