No berries

Thanks for the input btw(y)

Luckily no birds nesting and I've consistently cut the height to a manageable level so in theory not a monumental task. I like the idea of cutting it down looking like a bush. It really is quite extradinary how much work there is maintaining a house.

Yes there's some sense in what you're saying. Maybe it's too early to worry about something that hasn't yet become a problem. Was thinking, given there's a brick wall end of garden I may actually be able to tie the tree trunk down with some cable if it should become a problem.

I've attached two pictures below. Thanks

We have a holly tree in our back garden which has two trunks. One of the trunks is right up against our new fence with only a few milimeters gap. While it doesn't actually lean on the fence I am concerned a storm could cause some damage so I am observing the situation. Question: Will it...

Great idea. Hadn't thought of that.

I am putting up a new fence while also moving it closer to the edge of the house wall. As the picture shows, the corner of our house has and angle lower down rather than edge. I can install the fence 5 or so cm from the edge as one option. Any other ideas how to deal with this the best way? How

Will give it a go. Thanks

The fit between the two posts is a little tight which is why I had my doubts about whether I'd be able to fit the clips in. Mind you we're only talking about a 2-4 mm max so maybe it possible to cut a bit off the sides with a multi tool or a hand saw.

I think they're called 'overlap' fence panels. Basically I need to nail them to a wooden post.

Hi There I've bought an overlap fence panel to replace an existing one which is well worn down. The whole fence is by no means straight but it will do for now. At first I wanted to use fence clips but space is a little tight at the bottom so not sure it's a good idea. I then thought of simply...

I got it, thank you. I was trying to screw the nut on by hand (doh) which didn't work. Used a spanner and all is good. I was a little concerned I might have had a faulty valve.

Hi There I have a plumber coming in next week and just trying to make sure I have what we need. I've bought a TRV valve and straight out of the box the tail part (the part you put ptfe tape on) is loose. Meaning, when I put it into the valve part there doesn't seem to be a way of tighten it...

Thank you. Much appreciated
