Cant say I like it much. Its just a mix and match of tat really.

Hello. A block of flats was recently built close to my property. Telephone wires have been run across my garden to the said block. How do they do this without access onto my property ?. No permission was asked for access. Cheers.

Try opposing ways when you are using the rug. :lol:

I have used turf cutters a few times. They are aesy to operate. Not on hard ground maybe. When I have done work like this, I remove the turf then rotovate and level. Or add any contours you may want. Then top up with topsoil if necessary. .Spend some time doing this using a rake and spasle.

The detail in the pictures look a bit blurry. Have they been photoshopped ?

Thanks for your input. :roll: Can anyone tell me if substations have x amount of land beyond their brick walls for maintenance purposes ?

I honestly dont think he is a *****. I have a pretty good understanding of how things are done, harcore at certain depth and whacked down etc. But this isnt what I want I just want something to cover a lightly used area with a surface that wont let weeds through. This is only temporary really...

I have a small substation next door to me. This is built on land that looks as if it originally was taken from my garden. I think this because of how my garden boundry goes around it. The landlord of some shops at the other side of it, is under the impression he owns the land around it. The land...

Yes I think thats what he meant. Nothings been agreed as to exactly whats getting put down as yet. There is a lot of clearing to do first. Based on what I already understand and the good advice I have been given here. I think I'll just get him to do the clearing. :wink: Thanks.

Hello You wouldn't do it like that because it wouln't look right. But I dont think they are available in 600x300 anyway are they ?.

Pictures would help.

First thing i would do is fit a good extractor fan. Do you have one ?

Its about 4x sand to 1x cement depending on how you want it. You could also add 1x lime.

One thing you shouldnt be doing is replacing overheating/melting transformers. Stop using the circuit until you find the reason it is failing.

Just break up the path with a sledgehammer and clear the rubbish. Then hire a turf cutter and take off the top layer. Hire a rotovator and rotovate the soil pulling out stones and weeds etc as you go. Rake it about where you want it. Screed with river sand and lay your turf.

If it were me with my roof I would very carefully pressure wash it in the right direction. Then treat as in above post.

Thanks for that, I was rather sceptical but it sounds like its suitable for what I need.

I would start with the lawn because for not a great deal of time, money and work, you can turn something ugly into something beautiful quite easily. Good project for a beginner. When you stand back and look at it knowing you did it yourself its a good feeling. Gets you into it.
