cant believe he walked across the slates without using a ladder..proper legend!!
-
@cornflakes002 That £5k he paid for it would roughly be the equivalent of about £100k now, so still a bargain for what he got.

Respects to THE Man

majority of folk don't know how to mend stuff these days. Its built to be replaced not to last.
-
What's the odds of pushing a 18 foot steel rod through your house and it coming out of a hole on the other side first time? Fred did it twice! (or did he?)
-
Yeah 5k was cheap in them days for a house with serious structural problems but I dout you will ever pick up a house as cheap as 5k now with the same structural problems
-
£5000 was cheap even in those days for such a house; serious structural problems being the reason.
But - Fred Dibnah was not an ordinary buyer; he had the neccessary knowledge and engineering skills to fix it ! Without his intervention, the whole back wall would have collapsed and the house would have had to be demolished.
civilisation died with fred dibnah . a true gentleman . the world will be a lesser place without him .
many people salute you and are thankful that you let us share in your life albeit thru a television it is a true gift to the wotrld .

Funny how many people associate the demise of "Britain" with Freds passing,I totaly agree,since 2000 this country has become a right cesspit.What irks me the most is graffit,chavs and modern buildings,the whole country is blighted by billions of identical luminous orange "brick" micro shitboxes crammed together along with "shopping" centres made of huge tin sheds with even bigger carparks,I really loathe living in this country.
