House flooded in torrential rain storm , five rooms wrecked ,will be a long time painting with a 4 inch brush and roller , just locked the door and popped down to the south of France .
Back now and pulling up flooring ,stripping plaster off walls and tearing down celings .
What a fekin mess.

will be some time before I grasp a 000 windsor and newton 7 series again

Hope you'll get the resources (time, energy, supplies) to restore the house soon...!

This has happened to me a few years ago, so I can understand well how you feel now and how much work is waiting for you now.

But you certainly have friends who can help you - and will.

And if you're afraid the work never ends, remember: A journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step!

All the best for you and your relatives!

Not a snowballs chance in hell........

Don't you have drains in Scotchland?
Steve

Steve this is not funny the hoose is in fekin chaos five rooms wrecked . scottish water tailed to maintain the drains . all part of the demise ot the UK

OK then i suppose it will be alright in the end and if its not ;then its not the end

Realy sorry for you

In truth the drains in and around Glasgow are little better or worse than just about any city.
Major works are underway but the problem is the massive community disruption that is caused by increasing the drain capacity brings its own special misery. Its a bit of a no win situation. What's happening in the south side of the river Clyde is a huge main drain is being created. Where Ron lives is north of the river in one of the highest areas of the city with, in some parts extremely high value houses and even if it was practical to install a major drain it would meet with resistance from some of these owners.
This is just down the road ffrom Rons and bear in mind this was the start of June.
