Accoya Cladding – Features, Benefits & Uses of Modified Wood
If you're looking for more information on modified wood, in particular Accoya® cladding, you've come to the right place. Here we've explained not only what it is and how it's produced, but also some of its key benefits and uses.
For more about other wood modification techniques, be sure to have a read of our recent blog discussing the thermal modification of wood. There we've explained everything you need to know about thermowood, including its characteristics, typical uses and appearance, as well as ways of receiving the best quotes.
What is Accoya Wood?
Accoya® wood, also known as acetylated wood, is a sustainable, reliable and high-performance modified wood manufactured after undergoing an acetylation process (an established and proven wood modification technique – more information below). It's renowned for its beauty and durability, making it the ideal specie for timber cladding, façades and other demanding applications where aesthetics is of utmost importance.
What is the Acetylation Process & How is Accoya Timber Made?
The acetylation process refers to a non-toxic method of modifying sustainably-sourced timber, resulting in a wood that matches – if not exceeds – the properties of the most reliable tropical hardwoods. Rather than infusing preservatives into the wood (like pressure treatment), this approach permanently chemically modifies the timber to the core.
This process of wood modification has been proven to deliver unrivalled results, and is often the benchmark when the quality of other methods and treatments are measured.
Features & Benefits of Accoya Cladding
Excellent Durability
Acetylated wood is well-known for its excellent durability (class 1 durability), surpassing the capabilities of even Sapele, Teak and other species highly regarded for their resistance to rot. It has a longevity of 50 years above ground and 25 years when in freshwater, ensuring it remains of the highest-quality throughout its use in application, making it a favoured type of wood for many architects.
Exceptional Dimensional Stability
Accoya® wood provides tremendous dimensional stability, making it the preferred material for a wide range of exterior uses. It has been vigorously tested in all types of weather conditions and has been proven to be able to endure the most challenging and extreme environments for long periods of time.
Unlike other species, acetylated wood can withstand both dry and wet conditions, as well as sudden environmental changes, keeping swelling, warping, splitting and shrinking to a minimum. This gives users complete confidence when the material is used in outdoor applications (including in water) and is exposed to the elements.
Unlike non-renewable carbon intensive materials (such as plastic and concrete), wood treated with toxic chemicals and scarce slow-growing hardwoods, Accoya® wood is sourced from sustainable sources (including FSC-certified forests) and provides environmental advantages that other materials don't offer. It's always sustainably sourced from copiously available wood species, is non-toxic and fully recyclable, and is CO2 negative over the full life cycle.
It's been awarded several accreditations and eco-certifications for its sustainability and provides no challenges for the user at the end of its life.
Typical Uses of Accoya Wood
Accoya® wood is an incredibly versatile specie suitable for a wide range of applications. It's a reliable material favoured for particularly demanding uses due to its high-performance capabilities and beautiful appearance –
Cladding & Decking – Its extremely high resistance to moisture, decay and a range of different climates makes it an excellent specie for a variety of exterior projects, including cladding and decking. The fact it doesn't warp, twist, bow and so on is often the reason why so many people decide to utilise this specie for their bespoke project.
Windows and Doors – Accoya® window frames and doors are extremely popular – they open smoothly and operate effortlessly in all weathers without jamming. They're also a low maintenance solution and provide better thermal insulation than other commonly used hardwoods and softwoods.
Bridges, Canals & Other Structural Applications – Accoya® wood has transformed the way wood can be used in external applications. It's ability to withstand damp environments enables it to be reliably utilised in all types of large and small structural projects, and is often the go-to material for structural designers.

I have about 10 projects running right now. None are getting done fast. So to make myself feel better, I did a "quick hit": I easily transformed this vintage cheese tray from Wheat-y to…
… Georges Briard-a-licious.
The wheat tile — it's enameled steel — popped right off. I peeled and scraped off the old glue. Then, simply pasted the New Old Stock Georges Briard tile on, I think I used high-heat hot glue. I got the Briard tile here, from a stash of TENS OF THOUSANDS found in a warehouse yadda yadda.
I also hit the wood with a wood conditioner. Of course, consider whether what you are using is food safe.
The new/old tile fit perfectly. These cheese boards were super common — the tiles must have been a standard size accordingly. I see these cheese boards all the time at local estate sales.
I quite like this! So does DH! And I finished a project — oh happy day!
Very nice! The wheat motif was used a lot post war. Corning used it briefly before settling on cornflower blue for its Corningware line. I like what you did -colorful
Very nice Pam! I have a few of the old round cheese "things" with the glass domes – no tile in it though. I don't use them for cheese though – I stick some little item in there and use it as a display cloche.
Nice transformation! I really do get the satisfaction of finishing something too. I am looking around for a small satisfying project myself – maybe I'll give one of these a go.
My parents have "wheat" dishes, glasses, etc. that match the tile that was removed!! I love the "wheat" pattern!!
I love what you did. The "new" tile looks much better…such pretty colors that complement the wood. I love these quick easy projects. Just bought one of the vintage mosaic tile kits on eBay. I think it might be harder than it looks though! Fortunately DH is super artistic so he can help! Lol!
I like the wheat but the new old tile looks wonderful! Good job!
My Mom had some square ones with white tiles with gold on them. They had a little cheese knife attached with a chain, kind of like bank pens 😉
Yours looks much nicer!
Hi, I still use "Cheese Trays" for my dysfunctional family get togethers. There is also a small knife with fork prongs on the end to pick up just cut cheese. Yes mine is very old from the Danish Design era. From my parents home, their second of five homes over the years. That home was total walnut modern funiture in a spit level home. LOL. Your color tile on your redo tray looks great, reminds me of that home.
I once had one of those cheese trays, and it had colorful mushrooms on the tile.
Dave, if your family is that dysfunctional, you might want to do what Chris' mom did–attach the cheese knife to the cutting board with a chain. That way it can't be hidden in a shoe and used as a shiv. 🙂
I am lucky in that the level of my extended family's dysfunction stops at (1) saying you'll bring the cheese and then not bringing a cheese tray or cheese knife to go with it, (2) saying you'll bring cheese and driving off with it on the top of the car when you leave the cheese shop, or (3) saying you'll bring cheese and eating it all on the way to the party.
Not a fan of the wheat pattern, but love the "new" old tile. So nice that the tile was the correct size. The colors are perfect for a shore house! (Or a Tiki bar)
You improved it Pam, and did a much better job centering your NOS tile than they did with the original!
You inspired me to pick up a round cheese board, sans tile, at the local Salvation Army Thrift Store for just $1. I have no round tiles on hand, so I'm waiting for the perfect trivet or round wall hanging to stick in the middle. I'm also considering staining the lower part green for a minimalist wreath. So many ideas; so little time!

During the past several months I have been actively developing a browser-based, database application in order to catalog, rate, and review the various retro game systems and software titles in my collection. As a jumping off point to accerlate the project, I combined my experience and portions of code from the IonFalls BBS project, and combined it with the Roda routing tree web framework. In this article, I will discuss the overall technology stack, and how I decided to use these components together. If you prefer to skip to the instructions on setting up a similar environment, scroll down to the section below titled: "Putting it all Together".
In this article you will learn:
- Why I selected the various components of my stack,
- How to use Java libraries into Ruby code,
- To download and configure a self-contained development runtime,
- Creation of the framework's MVC directory structure
- Starting a Roda application running on Puma
Technology Stack
Choosing a technology stack is an important first step in developing any application. For this project, the selection of Java and JRuby creates a portable runtime that is self-contained, easily deployable and upgradeable and additionally offers access to a large set of libraries for both Ruby and Java languages. In this section, I will explain why these technologies are chosen and how they stitch together to form the framework I have dubbed as IonApp.
The OpenJDK provides a free, open, and compatible implementation of the Java Runtime and SDK. Many Linux distributions offer a package in their software repositories; however, this also means that the java version can vary. To guarantee my software runs predictably and to include the runtime along side the application, I will use a downloadable version of the JDK unpackaged into the application space.
About 10 years ago, as I was developing Ruby on Rails applications for my former employer, I discovered some challenges deploying my application into production. I was developing my code on a Linux desktop, Linux Mint at the time; however, my company's corporate standard for production applications required that I deploy onto Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 10 Years ago, this was RHEL-5. Running 'yum install ruby', you got whichever version of Ruby was shipping with the distro, and for most linux distributions at the time, this was an older version, that was either missing features and quite frankly, managing gems using RPM's just felt dirty.
After some research, I came across the JRuby project. I was impressed initially at the documentation available, particularly on deploying rails applications using WAR files. JRuby shipped with a tool, 'warbler'. With little effort, I was able to package my Rails applications and deploy them onto a Jetty webserver.
Mixing Java libraries in Ruby code
Another added benefit of using JRuby is the ability to leverage Java libraries or JAR files within my Ruby projects. When I began programming IonFalls (formerly OpenTG), I quickly found libraries in Java that were either more robust or non-existant in Ruby. Requiring the jar files and wrapping the java class into a JRuby module, a developer can quickly leverage powerful Java objects and methods to save time and enhance functionality. One major example of this used in IonFalls is during the new user signup form. As IonFalls is an interactive, console-based BBS, user-input is instant, but must also be verified as the user proceeds through the steps to prevent mistakes and improve security. As the user enters their email address, it should be checked that it is valid or when entering a number, the input should reject non-numerical characters. While many of these features exist in ruby, they are typically heavily integrated for use with Rails or other frameworks. These are also somewhat easy to write, but meant I would have to continually maintain additional code of my own, which increased overhead.
After researching libaries, I found Apache Commons Validator provided all of what I needed and quickly. By simply importing the validator classes, and extending the Ruby classes with the java methods to check, I could then quickly validate input, without a lot of additional effort. Take the following code snippet:
Example Code
#---[ JAR: Apache Commons-Validator ]----------------------------------------- require 'class/commons-validator-1.6.jar' module ApacheCommonsValidator include_package "org.apache.commons.validator" end #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #---[ Ruby: String ]---------------------------------------------------------- # # Extend the String Class with validation methods # class String # Return true if string contains only Alpha characters def is_alpha? ApacheCommonsLang::StringUtils.isAlpha(self) end # Returns true if string contains only Numeric characters def is_numeric? ApacheCommonsLang::StringUtils.isNumeric(self) end # Returns true if string is AlphaNumeric def is_alphanumeric? ApacheCommonsLang::StringUtils.isAlphanumeric(self) end # Return true if string contains only Alpha characters def is_spaced_alpha? ApacheCommonsLang::StringUtils.isAlphaSpace(self) end # Returns true if string is Blank. Similar to ruby's empty method, # but looks for whitespace entries. def is_blank? ApacheCommonsLang::StringUtils.isBlank(self) end # Returns true if string is NOT Blank. def is_notblank? ApacheCommonsLang::StringUtils.isNotBlank(self) end # Returns true if string meets email address criteria using Ruby # # def is_email? # if /^([0-9a-zA-Z]+[-._+&])*[0-9a-zA-Z]+@([-0-9a-zA-Z]+[.])+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/.match(self) # return true # else # return false # end # end # Return true if email is valid using Apache Commons Validator def is_email? ApacheCommonsValidator::GenericValidator.isEmail(self) end end #/class String #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this example, you can see how quickly it was to create validators without having to write the Ruby code. The "is_email?" method shows both a commented out Ruby example and a the Commons Validator example. Later, my implementation of the user form calls this new method as follows:
# Asks user for their email address def Signup::askemail(val=nil) complete = false until complete == true email = Ionio::question('signup_askemail.ftl', 60) unless email.is_blank? complete = true if email.is_email? end #/if end #/until return email end #/def askemail
As you can see, JRuby is an excellent choice for a programming language, giving me the ease and beauty of the Ruby language, with the power and flexibility of the JVM.
Puma Webserver
There are many Ruby webservers to choose from, each one claiming to be faster than another. It has been 9 years or so, since I have developed a web application, and as previously mentioned, I was writing Rails apps using WAR files to a Jetty server. Up until now, all of my software has been focused on console applications and distributed computing applications without the need for a web server. After researching the various options, I decided on Puma. It is free, lightweight, works with JRuby, and includes a command line tool for management and configuration.
H2 Database
Database selection is something that requires a lot of consideration and planning. For large software projects, my preferred database has always been PostgreSQL for its robustness, data types, and long stable history. However, the IonFalls project leverages the H2 Database engine. My experience integrating it proved it to be an ideal candidate here also. Because IonFalls requires multiple connections in separate processes, I leveraged H2's Server mode to run a listening daemon, allowing multiple connections simultaneously. This was due in part to the security model implemented by IonFalls which prevents one user from accessing another's memory space.
Since the Game Library application runs via Puma, which is a threaded web server, use of H2's embedded mode is possible. This means one less service to maintain and deal with. H2 is also supported by the 'sequel' ORM. To demonstrate using H2 in a JRuby application, the following code snippet shows loading the database driver from the Jar file, adding some methods to handle H2's Array DataType, and then issuing a connection through sequel's JDBC handler:
# -> Try to load H2 Database from JAR. # (instead of using the GEM for jdbc-h2 which tends to be outdated) begin require 'class/h2-1.4.199.jar' # This loads the entire DB engine from jar Java::org.h2.Driver # This loads the native JDBC driver rescue LoadError raise "ERROR: unable to load embedded database engine." end # H2 Database ARRAY Datatype class Java::OrgH2Jdbc::JdbcArray # Returns the JDBC array to a Ruby Array def to_r return self.getArray.to_a end # Get a count of the number of items in the Array def count return self.getArray.to_a.length end end
# Create Database Connection based on type of either H2 Embedded or External Remote. def Iondatabase.connect(db) # -> Try to connect to H2 Database from Sequel. begin Sequel.connect("jdbc:h2:./db/gameslib", :user => "#{db['user']}", :password=> "#{db['password']}") rescue Sequel::DatabaseConnectionError => e raise "ERROR: Unable to connect to embedded database. (#{e})" rescue Java::NativeException => e raise "ERROR: Unable to connect to embedded database. (#{e})" end end #/def connect
Roda & Sequel
Programming languages and frameworks are very opinionated and often the topic of much discussion and debate amongst developer communities. Over the years, I have worked with Rails, Ramaze, Sinatra, CakePHP, Code Igniter, Lapis, Lift, and many others. This experience dabbling with various languages and frameworks has proven (at least to me) that comfort using an SDL and API is what matters most, moreso than any features, whistles and bells claimed by the framework developers.
Since 2009, I had been using the Sequel ORM in various projects. Jeremey Evans is an amazing Ruby developer. If you don't believe me, check out his various project, read his documentation, and explore the code he has published. When I stumbled across Roda, I quickly knew this was the framework I wanted to use for the project. Rails is too heavy, and I have never been satisfied with Sinatra. Being it was also written by Jeremy Evans, I knew that Sequel integration would be straightforward. After spending about a day with Roda, I had a working shell to begin building the additional components.
Putting it all together
With the pieces selected, it is time to demonstrate how to assemble them into the IonApp framework on a Linux machine.
Create the Folder Structure
I store all of my source code for various projects under a 'repos' directory in my homedir. As we will be using an MVC separation, will organize our project source files accordingly:
mkdir -p ~/repos/ionapp cd ~/repos/ionapp mkdir -p class conf db lib log models public runtime views
Download the Runtime
We will set a temporary variable as shortcut for the installation steps called ION_RUNTIME
export ION_RUNTIME=~/repos/ionapp
Fetch OpenJDK from a reputable source. You can use http://jdk.java.net or https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/download
Once downloaded, extract the JDK into the runtime directory. For example, if the current version is 12.0.1 on a Linux host, and archive file is stored in your home director's 'Downloads' subfolder, you would run:
cd $ION_RUNTIME/runtime tar -xzvf ~/Downloads/openjdk-12.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
Fetch JRuby from the official project page http://www.jruby.org . Once downloaded, extract the JRuby binaries into the runtime directory. For example, if the current version is 2.7.0:
cd $ION_RUNTIME/runtime tar -xzvf ~/Downloads/jruby-dist-22.214.171.124-bin.tar.gz
Fetch H2 Database from the official project page http://h2database.com and download the All Platforms zip file. For example, if the current version is 1.4.199, extract it and move the jar file into the class directory as follows:
cd $ION_RUNTIME/class unzip ~/Downloads/h2-2019-03-13.zip h2/bin/h2-1.4.199.jar mv h2/bin/h2-1.4.199.jar . rmdir -p h2
Create a runtime environment file
Because many linux installations (and Mac) already have a JDK installed, you will need to setup an environment that sets up and uses the runtime. Create a shell script file called 'runtime.sh' and
touch $ION_RUNTIME/runtime.sh
paste the following code into the file:
#!/bin/bash IONAPP_HOME=~/repos/ionapp JAVA_VER=12.0.1 JRUBY_VER=184.108.40.206 # Set the environment 'production' or 'development' PUMA_ENV="development" export JAVA_HOME=$IONAPP_HOME/runtime/jdk-$JAVA_VER export JRUBY_HOME=$IONAPP_HOME/runtime/jruby-$JRUBY_VER export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRUBY_HOME/bin:$PATH
Test the runtime script by sourcing it into your shell environment. This time, use the full path instead of the variable for sanity:
source ~/repos/ionapp/runtime.sh echo $IONAPP_HOME
If it worked, you should see the project directory name. Now, test the development environment works by verifying that Java and JRuby are working as expected:
cd $IONAPP_HOME which java jruby java -version jruby -v
The output will look like this:
host:~/repos/ionapp$ which java jruby
host:~/repos/ionapp$ java -version
openjdk version "12.0.1" 2019-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 12.0.1+12)

Configuring Gems using Bundler
The runtime is almost ready. Next, you need to prepare the gems. JRuby ships with a version of 'bundler' but it is not the latest version. You can install the newer bundler by running:
jgem install bundler
Yes, that is indeed 'jgem'. This ensures that if there is a competing version of ruby or ruby-gems on the system, you instead use the JRuby version that is now sourced from your environment file. This is a good practice regardless as it prevents clobbering and reminds you that you are using JRuby. Once you have bundler installed, it will be unlikely you will call the command manually again anyway.
With bundler installed, create a 'Gemfile' in the main project directory:
touch Gemfile
and populate it with your required gems as follows:
source "https://rubygems.org" gem "puma" gem "rack" gem "roda" gem "tilt" gem "sequel" gem "bcrypt" gem "rack-protection" gem "rack_csrf"
then run the 'bundle' command to install the gems into your JRuby environment.
bundle install
Verify with 'jgem list':
*** LOCAL GEMS *** bcrypt (3.1.13 java) bundler (2.0.1, 1.16.6) cmath (default: 1.0.0) csv (default: 1.0.0) did_you_mean (1.2.0) fileutils (default: 1.1.0) ipaddr (default: 1.2.0) jar-dependencies (default: 0.4.0) jruby-openssl (default: 0.10.2 java) jruby-readline (default: 1.3.7 java) json (default: 2.2.0 java) minitest (5.10.3) net-telnet (0.1.1) power_assert (1.1.3) psych (default: 3.1.0 java) puma (3.12.1 java) rack (2.0.7) rack-protection (2.0.5) rack_csrf (2.6.0) rake (12.3.0) rake-ant (default: 1.0.4) rdoc (default: 6.0.1) roda (3.20.0) scanf (default: 1.0.0) sequel (5.21.0) test-unit (3.2.8) tilt (2.0.9) webrick (default: 1.4.2) xmlrpc (0.3.0)
Make it do something simple
Where's the magic? Let's make it do something. First, we need to configure the middleware by creating a Rack config.ru file:
touch config.ru
and populate it with the following code:
=begin # #---[ File Info ]------------------------------------------------------------- # # Source File: config.ru # Description: Rackup file for running the webserver via RACK middleware # #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- =end use Rack::Reloader, 0 $LOAD_PATH.unshift('.') require 'app' run App.freeze.app
Next we need to create the main application and routing file 'app.rb'.
touch app.rb
and add this sample snippet from roda's documentation.
require "roda" class App < Roda route do |r| # GET / request r.root do r.redirect "/hello" end # /hello branch r.on "hello" do # Set variable for all routes in /hello branch @greeting = 'Hello' # /hello request r.is do # GET /hello request r.get do "#{@greeting}!" end end end end end
Now, you can start the application for testing by running either the 'puma' or 'rackup' command from the project's root directory. Either way the result will be similar to this output:
Puma starting in single mode... * Version 3.12.1 (jruby 22.214.171.124 - ruby 2.5.3), codename: Llamas in Pajamas * Min threads: 0, max threads: 16 * Environment: development * Listening on tcp://localhost:9292 Use Ctrl-C to stop
Now point your browser to http://localhost:9292 and you should see a greeting.
So the current result of "Hello!" may not seem exciting, but the foundational building blocks are ready to expand upon. In this article you learned:
- Why I selected the various components of my stack,
- How to use Java libraries into Ruby code,
- How to download and configure a self-contained development runtime,
- How to create the framework's MVC directory structure
- How to create a basic Roda application running on the Puma webserver
In the next article, I will explore the enhancements that the IonApp framework adds on top of this basic runtime to utilize configuration files, a database, and authentication.

Department of Veterans Affairs censoring the words "God" and "Jesus" during funeral services at Houston National Cemetery
Government approval?
Increasingly we are witnessing hostility from the government toward Christianity. Military chaplains who object to homosexuality because of their Christian faith are being threatened with court martial. And while there are those who are attempting to censor Christians and marginalize Christianity, witchcraft and satanism are finding governmental approval. In fact, the Air Force Academy has opened a chapel for pagans. See here.
In an article published in Polish in Panorama and written by Dr. J. Coleman, an Intelligence officer, Dr. Coleman is quoted as having said that, "The One-World Government is going to consist of hereditary oligarchs who will divide the power between themselves. There is going to be only one legal religion and only one state church. Only Satanism and Luciferism will be the legal religious subjects in state schools. No other schools (private, Catholic, etc.) will be allowed. All present Christian education systems are going to be destroyed (and the fact is — they are destroyed in the most part) from inside, and become extinct. Satanism is already considered to be a 'true and legal religion'. In fact, in some U.S. military bases, they already celebrate black masses and worship Satan."
We are approaching the day prophesied by Romano Guardini in The Lord, "One day the Antichrist will come: a human being who introduces an order of things in which rebellion against God will attain its ultimate power. He will be filled with enlightenment and strength. The ultimate aim of all aims will be to prove that existence without Christ is possible - nay rather, that Christ is the enemy of existence, which can be fully realized only when all Christian values have been destroyed.." (p. 513).
Inflated in their rebellion against the God-Man, the Sons of Satan, those committed toward the atheistic program of attacking the Church from without and undermining it from within in preparation for the Man-God, will continue to intensify their persecution of craftiness and subversion until it reaches its culmination in an explosion of hate-filled rage which will bear much blood and death. Father Livio Fanzaga, writing about the Antichrist, says that, "Catholicism alone will resist him. How then do we destroy this superstition which alone obstructs the world's self-revelation? How do we destroy this superstition which divides mankind and which prevents man from being truly brotherly and free? The true Antichrist is revealed in the replies to these questions. Here is perceived his profound being as the man of iniquity. He will not tolerate the idea of men who adore any god other than himself. His intolerance obliges him to make an exception to his pacifism and his philosophy of non-violence. He is the greatest pacifist in the history of the human race, but because peace and justice really reign on earth he will make an exception to kill and destroy the great superstition of Catholicism, once and for all time..." (Wrath of God: The Days of the Antichrist, p. 124).

I never thought I would see the day when veterans were told they couldn't invoke Jesus' Holy Name at a funeral service. These heroes served their country so nobly and now they are being told by the country THEY SERVED AND SACRIFICED FOR that their Christian faith isn't welcome at a national cemetery.
America is dying a quick death now. It's not the country I grew up in.
Seems a bit silly. Anyway, couldn't they just disregard this silly rule? What's to stop someone saying God or Jesus? So you get your speech/prayer approved, and on the day, you add in the special words. Simple.
I agree with the veteran who said "what's happening to our country"? Things are going downhill so fast now. It is as if this nation has placed itself under a curse. Everything is now going wrong: the economy, one war after another overseas, terrorism, rampant unemployment, a collapsing housing market, rampant youth gangs and so on. We are in deep crisis people.
See this article:

AFA issued a press release today. It reads:
The Department of Veterans Affairs and its Director of the Houston National Cemetery, Arleen Ocasio, are engaging in religious viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, by adding new incidents of religious hostility.
Since taking the directorship of the Houston facility in April, 2010, Arleen Ocasio has used her position to bully Christians, repeatedly trampling on the religious liberties of Veterans of Foreign Wars District 4, The American Legion Post 586, and the National Memorial Ladies.
On March 15, Director Ocasio told Nobleton Jones, Honor Guard Junior Vice Commander, that he couldn't say "May God grant you grace, mercy and peace" to grieving families.
"The hostile and discriminatory actions by the Veterans Affairs officials in Houston are outrageous, unconstitutional and must stop," said Jeff Mateer, Esq., general counsel of Liberty Institute. "Government officials who engage in religious discrimination against citizens are breaking the law. Sadly, this seems to be a pattern of behavior at the Houston VA National Cemetery."
Our friends at Liberty Institute have amended an earlier lawsuit against the VA that states the new violations against religious liberty include:
• VA Forbids Mention of God at Funerals for Veterans and Requires Families to Submit Prayer for Approval to the Government
• VA instructs the VFW and a Private Funeral Home that they may not present the option of prayer to families
• VA Tells Volunteers to Remove "God Bless" from Condolence Cards to Grieving Families
• VA Closes Cemetery Chapel; Uses it for Storage
You can read Liberty Institute's detailed report of Director Ocasio's offenses here:
- jac said...
I have some difficulties imagining a DVA's censor sharply interrupting a priest's or a relative's speech during funerals because he dared to say "God bless..." or "May God grant you grace, mercy and peace".
Can you imagine that?
In my opinion he would take a big risk to be assaulted by the attendants on the end of the ceremony.
In my opinion so inappropriate and offending directives must be ignored with contempt.

It was recently announced that Neil and Pegi Young are divorcing after 36 years. More accurately, Neil filed for a divorce at the end of July. I don't know what Pegi's official stance is, but I'll bet she's on board with the idea.
I've always been under the impression that Neil is kind of an ass. Maybe it's the way he comes off in interviews. My feelings are pretty unsubstantiated; I've heard some apocryphal stories about him being distant and neglectful to the people he supposedly loves, including his disabled children (two from two different mothers, plus another non-disabled child with Pegi). I can't remember any of the stories well enough to recount them, or refer you to any sources. All I know is I don't like him that much as a human being.
As an artist and musician, Neil Young is above reproach. His work is stunning in its diversity and creativity. He can croon the tenderest love songs, and spew the most vitriolic rage. I love Neil's music.
Which complicates my feelings about him as a person. I guess I believe the stories I've heard because he is so brilliantly talented. Brilliantly talented people tend to have other glaring flaws. They can be difficult to deal with because their devotion to their art is so uncompromising. There probably is some truth to the stories, but that truth must be incomplete. After all, the marriage lasted for 36 years. Maybe he's a really lovable sweetheart in private, and they just decided to call it quits because they'd grown apart. I don't know.
And, ultimately, I don't care. What's important to me is the music. His life, their lives, are something that has no effect on me whatsoever. Although I bet this means there'll be an awesome break-up album in the foreseeable future.

BMC To Tax Public For Dharna, Marriage Procession, Denizens' Outcry Reaches Boiling Point
**Bhubaneswar: ** With the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) announcing a proposal to levy taxes on marriage processions and agitations, public outcry against the scheme is surging. A majority of denizens in the Temple City have termed the approach as hegemonistic.
BMC should have consulted and taken the public into confidence before drafting such a proposal, said a group of senior citizens in Bomikhal. "As per the present system, a marriage procession requires permission from the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police. The policy is going to be redundant only to render inconvenience to the common man," the group stated.
Mayor AN Jena on Thursday backed the stand, stating that the proposal was an initiative by the civic body to ensure that the Plastic Waste Management Rules- 2016 are adhered to. "We want a clean city and check the use and littering of plastic materials in Bhubaneswar. The money collected will be channelised for developmental activities intended for the public," Jena said.
While the exact nature of the taxation will be clear only after it is passed through a Gazette notification, the denizens are wondering, how the BMC could quantify littering during public processions or rallies.
Whether the Corporation will seek details about the number of members in a procession before granting permission, and levy the charges accordingly, or the tax will be flat slab common for all forms of celebratory functions which utilise arterial or tertiary roads. This remains a million dollar question.
On the other hand, agitators who flock the Capital City, especially during Assembly sessions, are in no mood to comply with the orders.
"We are already an aggrieved lot travelling from far-flung places with a hope of grievance redressal. Do we dirty the entire city, where are we supposed to drink water or have our meals, we cannot afford a mineral water bottle," a group of women protestors said.
The agitators usually have their food on the Mahatma Gandhi Marg, which has been designated by the Commissionerate of Police as a 'Dharna' site. "Let the BMC provide good number of dustbins, we will not even litter on the unused places," a woman protestor Brunda Majhi said.
According to the existing norms, any protest scheduled in the capital city will need to have permission from the DCP office. "A similar regulation, combined with financial charges, is needless and will lead to harassment," Majhi added.

"The Cohen indictment is troubling and I think the American people deserve to know more one way or another. I think the allegations in this indictment are going to be adjudicated in some way or another. Until we know more about that adjudication I think it's premature to speculate about the allegations in the indictment...The Idea that you have someone who is now saying that he colluded, that he engaged in a conspiracy to undermine federal election laws is concerning."
---Senator Mike Lee on what troubles him about the Cohen indictment
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) spoke with Brian Kilmeade about the impact of the Paul Manafort guilty verdict and what he finds troubling about Michael Cohen pleading guilty and cutting a deal implicating President Trump in authorizing illegal payments. When asked about the possibility of President Trump being impeached, Lee said, "There is certainly a risk if the House flips, of something like that happening." As to whether the Senate would vote to impeach, Lee went on to say that regardless of what the House does on this, the Senate is not going to vote to remove. Lee explained, "Even in some strange hypothetical world the Senate were to flip, I still don't think the Senate would vote to remove the President because it takes two-thirds." On whether the Cohen indictment will have an impact on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Lee said, "That's absolute nonsense, this indictment has nothing to do with the Kavanaugh nomination. Judge Brett Kavanaugh is an experienced jurist, he is someone with a lifetime of excellence, a lifetime of commitment to the law to the rule of law and this will have no bearing on our ability to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh who I believe will be confirmed by the United States Senate between now and the end of September."
Plus, Senator Lee discusses working with President Trump on prison reform to help make the criminal justice system more effective and efficient.

"Whoever tells me they are head over heels in love with their baby before 4 months old is a liar." When our pediatrician told us this at our 2 week appointment, I thought he was just being funny. "What is he thinking? Being a mom is so magical," I thought. Fast forward to 5 weeks later, this is probably one of most honest things I've heard in my first seven weeks of motherhood. Of course all moms love their babies. You spend nine hard months growing this tiny human and then have to push him out with the tiniest ounce of energy you have left. But loving someone is very different from being in love with them.
Let's face it – infants are 24/7 hard work. For the first few weeks, our little one slept about 22 hours a day and cried only when he was hungry. Two and a half weeks later when he hit his due date, everything changed. It was like a lightbulb went off that day and he was like, "Oh now I'm ready to be out". Everything was different. He opened his eyes up wide, started being awake more, and even started to make different faces at us. All of these things were so exciting! Our baby was finally interacting with us and we were thrilled. However, something else that came with hitting his due date: colic.
→ps. If you are sitting there thinking "this is me", read to the end to see my tricks to battle colic with our little one.
There are some days where he is a little angel. He smiles, plays, and can sleep pretty much anywhere. Then there are the other days where he pretty much eats, sleeps, and screams. These days are the hardest days and are becoming much more frequent: aka every single day. I've never felt so many emotions at once. Part of me feels horrible he is hurting, but the other parts of me feel frustrated, tired, and sick of having a headache.
Something I've learned (or I'm trying to learn) is to find joy, simplicity, and grace in all of this. I am not perfect, nor will I ever be. I cannot expect myself to wake up every day with a huge to-do list and check every single thing off. Or expect that just taking one walk will make me magically fit. Things I can expect: setting a goal for accomplishing one thing each day, becoming more fit over time, and God will be with me through it all. This is just a small part of our story.
Austin will not cry continuously forever. He still loves us even when he cries and I am still a good mom. One day I know we will miss these moments – even the moments where he cries for hours on end. So here's to loving every season of life and every minute we get to spend with our little one. Also here's to a large iced coffee, my new Proverbs study book (thanks She Reads Truth) and stress relief workouts – mama's gonna be needing it.
Tricks to Combat Colic
Always ask your pediatrician for their expert opinion!
- Gas Drops – We buy the store brand to save money, but any gas drops for infants will do! You can mix this in your baby's bottle or give it to them right before or right after a feeding. We give our gas drops at the beginning of feedings to avoid Austin spitting them up.
- Gripe Water – Same idea as gas drops – given to baby right before or right after a feeding. Since this dosage is bigger than little gas drops, we got a MediFrida Paci to help him drink the gripe water calmly.
- I recommend choosing gas drops or gripe water, not both. Again, always ask your pediatrician first!
- Football Hold – Hold your baby across your forearm (head near your elbow and bum in your hand) and gently rock side to side.
- Baby Wearing – My favorite way to wear Austin is the Solly Wrap. This wrap is made with breathable fabric and is easy to wash when needed.
- Swinging and Swaddling – Babies are used to motion, especially in the "4th" trimester. Swinging and swaddling can help calm your baby in a way that feels natural to him.
- Tummy Time or Reverse Breastfeeding Hold – Think about it, when you have a bellyache, the last thing you want to do is lay flat on your back. Try tummy time (on a soft surface like your chest or belly) or holding your baby on his side away from your body.
- Anti-Colic Bottle – Try an anti-colic bottle. We personally like Advent but every baby is different!
- Call for help! If all else fails, call someone to help you before you get too frustrated.

Battle for Russia and Middle Asia
"Eurasian plan of Vladimir Putin" is a reaction of nationally-oriented elite and capital to the current state of affairs. Up to a certain degree this is an attempt to reverse the situation, stop the process of ousting Russia from its geopolitical borders and squeezing into the bed of "Grand Principality of Moscow".
Vladimir Putin literally celebrated his "return" to the presidential post with an article "New Eurasian integration project: future that is born today1", which was lively discussed by political elites of Tajikistan, Kirghizstan and Uzbekistan. Lively it was indeed, yet anything but public, albeit every analyst got used to the private-club-like nature of politics in these countries (for the justice sake I have to denote Kirghizstan as a nice exception). From one hand, this creates certain inconveniences, making us step the quicksand of "doubts styled as suggestions", from the other hand — makes us tracing the daily life of Central-European politics more thoroughly, deposit facts and statements because when the moment's right they fit into a clear picture, whichever chaotic and random they might seem.
The plan, stated in Putin's article is quite clear. The maximum goal is to create the Eurasian Union — "powerful supranational institution", which "might have become one of contemporary power centers". And here's the minimum goal: it is to act as a "pivot point for the further integration processes. We welcome other partners and the CIS members first of all. At that, we're not going to hasten or push anyone".
The phrase about "not going to hasten or push" belongs to the area of wishful thinking. The claims that the European Union won't "fence itself off anything or stand against someone" are the same sort of benevolence. Given all the diplomatic smoothness of the wording, Putin's article is a Russian response to the New Silk Road project, actively promoted by the USA2.
Surely, the very emergence of this article makes causes certain optimism. What has Russia achieved at the post-Soviet space? In twenty years that passed since the collapse of the USSR Russian political establishment did everything it could to push the post-Soviet Caucasian and Middle-Asian elites away from them. All the those conversations about the integration of post-Soviet republics remained such, while the republics themselves steadily drifted towards all the greater independence from Russia and our country promoted this process the best it could. All the statements of Russian top officials about prioritizing the relations with the CIS happened to be a soother, while Moscow has demonstrated its unwillingness to invest into creation of new relationship.
We were getting an impression that the pro-Western part of Russian elite gave up the independent Middle-Asian foreign policy. Getting a status of "special partner" would've been of much greater importance for them — thus, they'd be able to provide the outsourced support and lobbying of Western interests in Middle Asia. That, of course, would be traded for the "modernization" investments. Moreover, a part of the elite has already started claiming that bearing the Western values to the Middle Asia through the CIS and CSTO to be the historical role of Russia3.
Such policy resulted in the loss of both political and cultural attractiveness of Russia, in the eyes of former Middle-Asian republics. Due to re-industrialization, collapse of the hi-tech and science-intensive fields (defense industry, mostly), decrease of the scientific potential modern Russia has almost nothing to offer its Middle-Asian partner — nothing that other players can't provide them with (in greater quantity, of better quality and at more lucrative conditions).
Finally it reduced Russian regional interests to keeping the drug traffic in leash and preventing the immigration wave, caused by the destabilization of regional situation. I hope you'd agree that such interests may hardly be dubbed strategic, comparing to the U. S. and Chinese aspirations.
"Eurasian plan of Vladimir Putin" is a reaction of nationally-oriented elite and capital to the current state of affairs. Up to a certain degree this is an attempt to reverse the situation, stop the process of ousting Russia from its geopolitical borders and squeezing into the bed of "Grand Principality of Moscow".
This policy will surely meet a fierce rebuff both at home and in the West. Western reflections upon the "inborn Russian aggression and expansionism" are quite common and routine. No Russian move — apart from unilateral nuclear disarmament and giving sovereignty to all of its territories at once — will be approved in the West. Carthago delendam esse, Carthage must be destroyed...
An indestructible wall of powers, opposing the Eurasian Plan in Russia, is of much greater interest for us. We aren't talking about the good old eternally-protesting opposition, which, prompting the West, will interpret any state actions as the coming of totalitarianism and the forthcoming downfall of all freedoms. They only existed until the media shows any interest for them, which will go on forever — they are the "democratic and liberal showcase" after all, our report to the West. Much mightier and less public powers will oppose Putin. The West-oriented capital of Russia will rise to fight the Eurasian Union and will have all the grounds for that.
First of all, policy of the Eurasian Union creation will cause the Western counteraction, which this capital is dependent upon. For the capital this conflict is deadly, because it destroys the very essence of its existence — earning super-profits from the reckless sale of resources. Creation of Eurasian Union will require Russia to act almost "against the law" (in the Western notion). Nightmare for Washington is the consolidation of Russian (or the Eurasian Union in the long run) regional partnership with China and Iran and inclusion of Pakistan into this alliance. Even today the USA tries to resist the very emergence of such bloc, successfully creating a "special relationship" with India and involving it into the strategic partnership in Afghanistan. That's how we should view the treaty of strategic partnership between India and Afghanistan that Karzai and Singh signed this Tuesday, on the 4th of October4. And while Israeli government demands Russian representatives at the Jewish Congress to exert pressure upon their leaders in order to stiffen Russian attitude to Iran, we may imagine the amount of pressure upon Russian business, when it come to bringing the Eurasian plan to life.
Second of all, in my opinion, the Eurasian Union will require building up the foreign-policy potential of Russia, i. e. — the foreign-policy spending, including the defense spending. The only source of income here — no matter how fiercely we're being convinced of the opposite — are the restriction for super-profits of Russian capital, which is mostly bound to the export of raw resources and energy carriers. I doubt that we have to explain, what happens, when someone infringes upon the most sacred thing — the incomes of oligarchic structures.
Third and the last of all: Russian bureaucratic apparatus operates in such a way that it positively responds only to increase of staff and extension of its authorities in the permissive/denying area. For the justice sake we have to admit that any state apparatus works like this. Yet, not everywhere it has such broad opportunities to saboteur the decisions of President and the government. But it's not just about authority either. Project of Eurasian Union is not just demanding for the quality of its work, it also decreases its incomes, stemming from the right to authorize or deny.
I rush to tell you that those are merely the outlines of anti-Putin, anti-Union bloc within the country. There's a more important detail, though. Bringing such an ambitious plan — actually, the creation of a new state to life — will require mobilizing an entire society around the re-industrialization concept mostly. Russian adherent of integration often tend to forget that unification is only possible when the economy of a core country develops dynamically, when the unifying country becomes attractive in technological, scientific, social and cultural sense. Actually, the creation of the Eurasian Union is impossible without profound transformations of Russia. Whether it's ready for them or not is yet another issue, which is out-of-frame for this article. Is there a plan for them — not some mere declarations, but rather a roadmap for an entire country? This question still seems open-ended to me...
In the very beginning I've said that the Eurasian Union isn't going "to fence itself off anything or stand against someone" in its foreign policy, which is no more than a benevolence. Yet, it would have to stand against the elites of certain Middle Asian states. The scope and difficulty of this task is barely inferior to the stand at Russian internal frontiers in its fight against the Eurasian Union.

Brazilian creativity is legendary, fresh ideas and innovations just seem to flow with the ease of samba on a sunny day. So you think Brazilians would speak on ordinary public phones? Please. Brazilian phone booths are called orelhao (big ear) because of the function and rounded shape but they hardly resemble anything close to a boring, old phone.
In Bahia, I was excited to see phone booths looking like big, green apples but that wasn't all.
Some perched on corners in the form of gigantic swans.
Others beckoned with the bright petals of the sunflower.
Or the imposing beauty of the rose.
And this duck character, I can't explain who he is, probably the cooler, more stylish (check out the carefully coordinated hat) cousin of Daffy.

I think those apple looking things are actually supposed to be those large coconuts they hack open for you at the beach and stick a straw in so you can drink the milk. mmmm. Tasty. I need to revisit Brazil!

Catherine, the detail in that rose was unbelievable.
Cubano, I think its a trait that seeps through everything they do.
Jean-Luc, leave it to Brazil to create public phone style although I think classic red London boothes are stylish too.
Amanda, they really are.

Do you trust your gut?
I do.
A few months ago, someone commented on one of my social media posts that they weren't sure if "trusting your gut" was a good thing, because they weren't sure if our gut was always right.
I've thought a lot about this since then.
And my answer is still yes.
Let me explain.

Okay, so I wasn't really looking, but I came across another cool site and this one happened to have a few really stylish canes which can be used during upcoming formal holiday events. They might also be tall enough for women who normally only get those really short walking sticks – know what I mean?
This site also has a number of links out to Victorian sort of pieces that we are always scouting for such as bum rolls, corset boning and the like. The site is not exclusively Victorian, so SCA fans will find things they like too.
Enjoy! Auntie Rita

Storing Your Winter Rugs: Get Ready For The Arrival of Spring
Spring is around the corner… FINALLY! After another long, cold, wet winter its almost time to get up in the loft to bring down my WeatherBeeta fly rugs and summer sheets. But currently my rug racks and stable walls are still adorned with my filthy winter rugs. Time for a sort out!
Checking all stitching and linings.
Checking the rug inside and out for stitching and rips, all strap attachments and hardware attachments is a good starting point, so you can work out if it is financially beneficial to get the rug repaired/reproofed or replaced! If last winter was particularly hard on your old, very much used rug that has one buckle attached at the front by bailing twine.… it's probably time to donate that one to the bin and treat your horse to a new one next winter! For those rugs worthy of repair, your local rug cleaning professional will be able to patch and replace missing straps, or to cut down on costs you can do this yourself, WeatherBeeta offer a range of replacement rug accessories so you can make sure your winter rugs are ready for next year!
I'm only allowed to wash my lightweight rugs in my washing machine, the drum isn't large enough to fit my larger heavier rugs in, plus my boyfriend doesn't really appreciate when I do wash my horsey things in there, so I feel obliged to use my local professional rug washing service! Plus, I know their knowledge and expertise will ensure my rugs are cleaned and treated correctly ready for next year. For those I will be cleaning at home however I follow WeatherBeeta care guide!
- Remove excess dirt, mud and hair from your rug with a brush
- Remove all detergent build up from your detergent dispenser
- Place your rug in a mesh wash bag to contain all the straps and buckles, protecting them from being damaged and protecting your machine
- Machine wash your rug on a gentle delicate cycle using a mild soap or a reputable and recommended rug cleaning wash such as Nikwax Rug Wash (always follow the manufacturers proofing instructions)
- DO NOT use detergents or fabric conditioners as you risk compromising your WeatherBeeta's unique waterproof and breathable coating.
- For best results, re-proof your rug too add durable repellency and revitalise breathability. Use a reputable and recommended rug proofer such as Nikwax Rug Proof (always follow the manufacturers proofing instructions)
- Line dry your WeatherBeeta rug - do not tumble dry and make sure your rugs are completely dry before you store them as you risk them going mouldy!
Storing your rugs
The great thing about WeatherBeeta rugs is that all rugs come with sturdy, reusable bags. However, how do you get your huge rugs back neatly folded into the bag it so neatly arrived in? Follow the below steps! Make sure you store your rugs in a dry area where they cannot get damp or damaged by little mice (we've all had a mouse make a house in a rug at least once right?!)
- Lay the rug out flat
- Fold the tail flap and neck inside the rug
- Fold Length wise once or twice depending on rug thickness
- Fold width wise until the rug is square

This sumptuous mausoleum takes the form of a Gothic shrine with a steeply pitched roof and arched openings filled with tracery and surmounted by gablets. The statues standing on slender pedestals at the four corners of the monument represent a Blacksmith, a Draughtsman, an Engineer and the architect himself. Further carved embellishments include head-stops, bats and twining ivy.

Gothic Revival
Richard Peacock (1820-89) was one of the giants of railway engineering. He was educated in Leeds and, at the age of eighteen, was locomotive superintendent of the Leeds and Selby Railway. In 1841 he came to Manchester to manage the locomotive division of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway. Having set up the Company's works at Gorton, he was thereafter heavily involved with the development of this part of Manchester. He was a Liberal MP and prominent member of the Unitarian community, building the magnificent Brookfield Unitarian Church in Hyde Road between 1868 and 1871. The list description says the mausoleum in the churchyard there was built in memory of Joseph Peacock, Richard's son, who died in 1875, while Anthony Pass gives the date of construction as 1890, following the death of Richard himself. The earlier date seems more likely.
Still sound, though the bronze angels that used to stand on the gables at either end were stolen some years ago (1997).

Bay v. Anadarko E&P Onshore, No. 17-1374 (10th Cir. 2018)Annotate this Case
The issue raised on appeal in this matter centered on a trespass claim by Plaintiffs-Appellants Marvin and Mildred Bay that Defendants-Appellees Anadarko E&P Onshore LLC and Anadarko Land Corp. (together, "Anadarko"), that through a lessee, exceeded the scope of an easement by using excessive surface land to drill for oil and gas. The district court had diversity jurisdiction over the case and entered final judgment against the Bays pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). The Tenth Circuit was presented with an issue of whether a deed reserving mineral rights in land (and the specific right to use the surface as "convenient or necessary" to access the minerals) requires applying a different test than the one prescribed in Gerrity Oil & Gas Corp. v. Magness, 946 P.2d 913 (Colo. 1997), to evaluate whether the mineral owner's use of land constitutes a trespass. The Court concluded it did not, and reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

Proposal seeks to honor Twin Ports Icon Lew Martin
SUPERIOR, WI — A Twin Ports icon who died earlier this year could soon receive a big honor.
Superior City Councilor Jenny Van-Sickle has proposed renaming the Superior-Douglas County Senior Center after Lew Martin who was involved there for years.
Van-Sickle says it would be a way to "lift up an inspiring human being."
In addition to being a broadcast icon, Martin spent about 30 years on the Douglas County Board.
He died this past February at the age of 102.

Modernised by two serial renovators, this Co Waterford house has all the features you would like in an ideal cottage, writes Trish Dromey.
In the hands of a couple of serial renovators from the UK, this terraced property at Stradbally in West Waterford has become the type of archetypically pretty cottage that people like to write and dream about.
Pale pink on the outside, it has all the features you would want in an ideal cottage; gardens with a fish pond and rose bushes as well as a cosy but elegant living room with a stove, a gloriously pink bathroom and a country kitchen with a chequered table cloth, a double Aga and a dresser full of patterned china.
Six years ago, the owners came to Ireland in search of a cottage.
"We flew in to Dublin on a five-day visit — we had three criteria, it had to be coastal, close to a golf course and it had to be in a village," reveals the lady of house, who opted for Ireland because she originally came from Kildare.
They started their search in Wexford and on the last day of their trip, fell in love with Dungarvan. He came back to Waterford for a further search and then she came on her own.
"This was the first house I looked at and I liked it so much that I bought it before my husband saw it," she reveals.
When he came to see it, he wasn't initially impressed, but fortunately for her, he fell in love with the long back garden which offered him ample space for horticultural endeavors.
When they bought it, the cottage, which possibly dates to the early 1900s, was in need of modernisation.
The estate agent told them that it had at some point, along with the house next door, been used as the local courthouse. Prior to moving to Stradbally the couple had bought, renovated, lived in and later sold three cottages in Sussex.
"We lost everything some years back and used the last of our money to buy a horrible cottage in a beautiful village. Our daughter said you can't live there, but we did it up and sold it for a good price."
Two cottages later, they decided to move to Ireland and renovate again, by which time they had a wealth of experience in turning old properties into pretty cottages.
She worked out ways to make the new home "cosy but classy" while her husband made plans for the garden.
To start with, they engaged a builder and an engineer to undertake some structural reorganisation. Three ground floor rooms were turned into two, a process which involved knocking two walls.
"We also put in an en suite and a new bathroom, took out the oil fired central heating and put in a stove with a back boiler and we rewired, re-plumbed and re-plastered."
It took eight or nine months to get the decoration just right — the couple brought most of the furniture with them, employed a carpenter to build a new staircase and also got a new kitchen made locally.
The lounge, which now stretches across the width of the property at the front, is decorated in elegant country cottage style and combines rustic features such as a timber mantled fireplace with a stove and a wicker basket with more classic features including a large ornate gilded mirror, willow pattern china plates and cream sofas with blue and orange cushions.
The kitchen dining room, fitted with cream units with timber worktops and a large electric Aga, has been accessorised with bric a brac and hanging utensils.
The half dresser filled with colourful china completes the country kitchen look perfectly. A striking, slightly more modern feature is an orange splash back.
"We painted the wall behind the unit orange and put toughened glass over it and achieved the coloured glass look at a fraction of the cost."
She chose orange as a continuation of the colour scheme in the lounge.
The three bedrooms have been prettily decorated in neutral colours and chintz curtains but the stand out feature upstairs is the cerise pink en suite bathroom which, is probably not very typical of a country cottage.
"I saw the colour, liked it and wondered will I get away with and thought why not," says the owner, who is very pleased with the way it turned out.
Her efforts in the cottage were matched in the garden by those of her husband, who spent several months building a large raised goldfish pond, which he fitted with a waterpump to create a fountain.
Enclosed by a high hedge on one side and an old stone wall on the other, the back garden is over 100ft long and has a myriad of features including trellises with trailing plants, a timber archway, a graveled patio with a chiminea, rose bushes, dahlia beds, apple trees and a lawn planted with daffodils which have just come in to bloom.
The owners say they love the cottage and the village but have decided they now need a single storey property so it's possible they may be taking on another renovation project soon.
Selling agents Sherry FitzGerald Reynolds say this property, now called Cilldara Cottage, is warm, cosy and charming with an impressive standard of finish.
Seeking offers of €235,000, auctioneer Cormac Curran expects it to appeal to buyers looking for a holiday home on Waterford's Copper Coast or possibly other UK buyers who want to settle in the picturesque village close to the coast and local golf courses.
