How’s Mrs Balrog? I’m surprised nothing drastic has happened yet :D.
so 4 years on from the thread start 7 from the initial fireplace bashing, how about we sign Mr Balrog up to DIY SOS 
Yes we’re both fine and enjoying life. Business is good and we’re still planning on giving up and setting sail to blue waters in a couple of years. For the moment we’re doing a lot of track days in the MG and still into diving.
Chris has graduated with an MEng, done 18 months in the design office and is and a year or so off becoming a chartered engineer.
All’s well in the world, its great when a long term plan starts to come together 
The precursor to buggering off on the boat is finishing off the DIY & downsizing. God knows what’s happening to property prices though.
Been browsing through here for the last 1/2 hour. Great to see the crunching is still going on but I seem to be in Div 1 now 
Well done y’all 
//me gets calculator head on to work out the current length of “12 weeks”

oh why the heck not - we never did get pictures of the finished rooms 
@Mrs_Balrog how did @The_Balrog get on - last we heard it was still a work in progress (nearly five years ago!)

I wonder if now the job list for @The_Balrog from @Mrs_Balrog now has an extra place for Chris?
I’m betting on the glossing hasn’t been done yet.
+hoping Balrog has notifications on as the email announcement sent out yesterday bounced to his email and I’ve since made more technical mumbo jumbo changes to something called a SPF dns record …
