? What does it matter, your going to struggle to find where I live. Its prob easier to find where people live by looking at all their car pics with their private plates on etc?

Not too far. Dont want to give the game away! Not that im on the game or anything!!

I knew you were a builder, but clearly you are a proper builder knowing where those house are. You are quite correct in what you say, a few players, but still not too far from the harsh reality which is some of Leeds less wealthy areas.

I may pm you if you are based Leeds way? What kind of work do you do?

May have a few things in the pipeline that could be up your street (pardon the pun) after looking at you proper restoration thread.

Cheers

Have a rather good friend at Consort Homes, there building some quality stuff now, (and were!!) and moving forward in the right direction. Planning on over 200 units this year. Also got a base in Scotland.

Do you undertake renovations, modernisations etc? Like I say, ill give you a shout should my plans come off.

Google earth doesnt show our house. Its right on the edge of a blurry bit where they have no pics.

Never been on local live though and its ace! BUT our house is still a field and its almost 4 years old

That could explain a lot because ive noticed things about our road which arent there anymore, plus the fact the car on the drive looks to be all silver, and clearly mine has a black roof!

The pic of our house on Google Earth shows it as thoroughly overgrown and certainly not lived-in. We cleared it 3 years ago, so the pics are at least that old!

On local.live, I can see a fence which was erected last year, so the pics on that were taken last Summer I imagine. My new shed isn't on there, and that was put up in the late part of last year.

I can see the RST on there!!
