A rat ran out and one of my wee boys freaked out and ran into the house, that was the end of the hot tub, he wouldn't go back out. "My shed is also now covered in rat droppings." Jenny said that the Housing Executive's Maintenance Team stopped by the property on November 18 to lift all of the decking but when arrived they were appalled to see the condition the garden was in.
