The soffit would have been wide open before, with just a fascia board, now it is completely enclosed, with much reduced airflow.

Sorry I didn't realise the old rotten fascia board had been capped over, that is never a good idea, unless the board is in perfect condition. 3 The 'elbow' is called a shoe. 2 Item you missed, is the U channel, has not been fitted along the wall, into which the soffit wall end slots, to give...

I'm on it!

Absolutely ridiculous amount to pay for poor quality food.. .

You might need a gadget, to lift the tile up enough to unhook it. I made a bit of flat steel bar, with a bit of flat bar welded to the side of it, at 90 deg. You poke it under the tile, then rotate lifting the rear edge of the tile, to clear the hooks, moulded into the tile.

They enforce the limits, where it's easy, and worthwhile, where people naturally speed. Those areas where few do speed, are the ones where it is less productive, are the areas is more of an issue- the residential roads.

It is an unmitigated mess, unworthy of anyone, never mind someone professing, and offering a professional service. Most of what has been done on the soffit, appear to not be salvageable, is scrap, and new will need to be bought and fitted. The gutter might be able to be realigned, to allow a...

As we are in dispute with the council, over their failure to collect the mattress, I have checked my security cameras recording. They did actually turn up at the gate, at 7:38, one got out, looked up the drive, got back in, and they drove off, one minute later. The item was where it was agreed...

Last night - cottage pie, chips, green beans, and some homemade rich onion gravy. We've really got the hang of this gravy - I gently fried off a whole onion, mixed half a veg stock cube, and gravy granules, with boiling water, then finally added the onions. The gravy, makes the meal. Going to...
