Hi. I have a 2004 Honda CRV. Works really well but it slips out of 5th gear. I need to gently keep it engaged as I'm driving. The action isn't good either. It doesn't slip in to gear properly, it feels like something is in the way rather than a worn gear? I know nothing about gearbox's so maybe...

:rolleyes: Guess the world can't wait.

Good for you. So what are the people supposed to do that you can't fit in? Think your missing it a bit.

Well obviously there's a tradesperson out there just waiting for your phone call. No need to advertise. Tradespeople have been content with their lot for centuries..

I'm sure you won't get charged for the privilege of the recommendation either..

So how do you ensure the tradesperson you hire is right for the job? What is wrong with the reviews? How should they be vetted? Maybe you should go into business recommending people you know??

"Hello Sharon, yeah I'm up to my eyeballs right now but I did notice you needed a bit doing, I can be over this afternoon" That's about right. Or he can book her in for a day when he knows he's free?

Not true. No one is sitting around. They are a way for tradespeople to contact people who wish to have work done. I can easily do this whilst on a job using my phone. The point is which website is going to give you the most choice?

Quick answer mybuilder Why? If you post a job on Rated People your details will be available to buy for the first tradesperson who likes the sound of your job. Once it has been bought once then the next tradesperson can see it has already been bought and unless the job is particularly juicy...

Thanks. I think I have the information I need now. Can you recommend any further reading for extensions or foundations?

Thanks. That's what I was expecting to hear. Will the other walls be ok with 450mm depth foundations?

I'd like to build an extension at the back of the house in the picture. My question is. Considering the house is on terraced land. Would the side abbuting my neighbours house require foundations dug to the same depth as theirs? ie I'm concerned that the foundations if dug down to just 450mm...

Thanks for the replies. Having thought about it further I've got a few more questions that you maybe you could help me with? I thought as a further money saving step I could dig and ay the foundations myself. Looking at the site though I realise it's on terraced land. To the left of the...

Hi I'm buying a house which I'd like to extend out at the back about 4m. I'd like a 1 storey extension with a sloping or flat roof. The entire footprint would be about 16m/2. I can do all the internals like plastering plumbing and electrics as I'm a qualified electrician. How much do you...

Hi I'm just plastering a smallish patch. From the same batch of 5kg multi finish i got about 1hr's use yesterday afternoon. Today the rest of the bag set rock solid in about 20 mins. Water from mains in kitchen each time mixed in the same way. What happened?

I want to replace an entrance light with a PIR one that can also be switched on inside via the existing on/off switch. If I take the existing switch wire and wire it into the S/L of the new PIR unit then at times that the switch is off inside but the PIR is activated outside then the switch...

Looking at this now.. http://www.spraydirect.co.uk/acatalog/255891-asm-l1900-electric-airless-sprayer.html

I've had my eye on an airless sprayer for a while for quicker application of Emulsion Paint. Has anyone used this model? Seems like the next step above the hobby models like the Earlex and alot less than the £2000+ kits from places like the sprayshop...

More insights thanks. You'll be shocked to learn that decorating unlike other trades such as electrical services isn't a regulated industry. Therefore anyone entrepreneurial enough with the right customer service skills can undertake a decorating project. The only constraint being the...
