Getting a survey done on a *fourth* attempted house purchase today.
Place your bets on what catastrophe they will find. For reference in the last place a poorly removed chimney breast was about to collapse the entire stack.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons:

And of course my third attempt to buy a house has stumbled with the survey revealing illegally done unsafe work in the chimneys in the loft.

Now on my third attempt to buy a house, with the added bonus of completing in 6 weeks before the stamp duty relief changes.

So Elon Musk just straight up has full unrestricted access to the entire US government's payment systems? And he's seemingly just unilaterally stopping congressionally mandated payments?

Honestly the main thing these tariffs have taught me so far is the fact that Canada really loves state run alcohol monopolies.
Only really knew about that being a thing in Nordic countries

Anyone else find it incredibly discomforting that one of the points is basically "Dairy company can't exploit eastern european workers anymore" and two others are "There's been too many (implied dark skinned) immigrants entering since"?

But at least they owned the "wokes".
