Hi all, I've got a tenant who has just become pregnant and she wants to give birth at home in a birth pool in the lounge. She lives in a first floor flat and apparently the weight is 650Kg (0.7 ton). She's asked if this could be done and I've said as Landlord I have no problem...

I'm sure you didn't mean it to come out as it did, but I couldn't help mentioning that perhaps the child is more important than his clothes? I hope he's alright. Cheers DL :)

Hi Fionhun, Re the gas and electrics, you may have taken the hint by now, but really-leave them to the pro's. If you were to do the work and even get away with it, as in, nobody getting killed or injured immediately etc, should there be a problem in the future traced back to your work...

Hi all, You don't say what price you're asking, but if it's in the nominal (not 'luxury') end of the market where it's located, if you do it up, you'll be competing with loads of others in the same price range. They'll probably all have the same refurb- halogen downlighters, stainless...
