Rain. Got to the point of putting the roof boards up on the garden room. Only for a series of 7 or 8 dry days to turn in to 5 or 6 days of forecast rain. That's going to slow me right down. Can't start the first fix electrics until the roof is on. Can't do the insulation until the first fix is done... and so it dominos.

People who rip open food packaging when there's a kitchen drawer that contains 3 pairs of scissors.
Bizarrely, the same person is a neat freak and hygiene fanatic.

The neighbour’s cat that ?s in our garden. ???
Once a year I mix cayenne pepper with boiling water, let it cool and strain it into a spray bottle. I then spray around the flower beds they use, the bottom of our hedge and the top of the neighbour's fence. Respray after it rains. It seems to work. We rarely get cats in the garden now.
It's less labour intensive than standing on guard duty with the Super Soaker.

If I try this..do you think it'll make our cat leave home..?
Our relationship has officially hit the "strained" level....

It might just stop it ever leaving the footprint of your property. Make sure you do it while it's out for the day.
