Never come across hardboard on a ceiling before, but about a couple of months ago I was replasterboarding a ceiling for a customer, I started pulling old plasterboard down when a load of 1980's pawno mags fell on my head. I didn't know what to say o the customer, just kept quiet. Anyway the moral of the story is always wear a hard hat!!!!

Luxury!

Our (Victorian Town) house has no heating, no double glazing and no hot water. You have to get into bed fully clothed in order to not freeze. It's colder inside than out. Midwinter last year and my dad was stood with the kitchen door wide open and I said "Quick, shut it before you let all the warm air in.."
When my sister visits she has to keep her coat on in the living room, a blanket over her legs and her feet on a hot water bottle. I think she's gone soft. :rolleyes)
