Dry cast sandstone

[the Nefyn cat]

For me I like to be able to read a building’s history and guess at what it used to be. So I think it’s part of the character to have that sill higher

I think I’d just be filling in the hole so it almost blends in but doesn’t quite so you can see there was something there before.

If I’m honest I tend to suffer irrational levels of excitement when I see a blocked up aperture in an old building. It’s great to guess what it might have been there for and why it was blocked up.

Round my way they even build new houses with fake blocked up windows.

And I love your casting @Sean d . Your next career beckons

You want to read the buildings' history? Nip down-stairs and admire the strong-room door. The original one, complete with twirly handle that winds loads of thick steel rods into the doorframe. Ain't taking that out, oh no. And the 18 inch thick walls with steel in. And the hardest bricks I've ever encountered, using a Stihl disc-cutter with a diamond disc in it and the bricks don't cut, they eventually melt. Guess it was built tough.

….. and all these years I thought those boarded up windows in Dudley were real plywood

I'd turn it into a red room, you know the one from 50 shades of Grey

I get a real buzz out of this sort of thing Robert, keeps the old grey matter busy

Did (briefly) consider some kind of spanking palace (remember Cynthia Payne, anyone?), after all I know several young ladies who wear them tight stretchy trousers for work and know how to brandish a whip, but we're too far from London which seems to be where all the pervs with money hang out.
