I never said it wasn't I said the ECHR and the human Rights Act have nothing to do with the EU or Brussels

My previous post was largely in response to the 'bit of Brussels stuff' part of the post given i have repeatedly pointed out it has zero, nadda, nothing whatsoever to do with the EU or Brussels The human rights act made no difference to the overall effect of the law in Britain given we have...

As I already pointed out the European Convention on Human Rights was largely drafted by the British in 1950, it has nothing to do with the EU or Brussels as the European Court of Human rights is based in Strasbourg. The Human Rights Act was created in order to give a British Law which British...

Ahh ok I was assuming there was some form of strapping as well if it really is just held on at the tow bar then you are right to want to ensure the correct tension. Personally I would not go near such a design.

Just tighten it as much as you can by hand with a decent spanner

Generally to get grants it has to be installed by an insulation company. The DIY sheds often have loft insulation at very cheap prices as it is subsidised by the utility companies.

Only true in very limited circumstances including only after all domestic court appeals have been exhausted (which due British Human Rights Act being a UK law means many fewer cases make it past the UK courts now and those that do are much less likely to be successful). None of this alters...

Both plasterers are correct, its what we had done on our lath and plaster kitchen ceiling in order to cover up artex

The plans show a small roof after the first floor thus stepping the first floor extension wall back and allowing the roof to match in with the original roof better. No idea how it was intended for this to be built mind given it would need some way of supporting the upper wall. However given...

Is it just me thinking close the doors on the stove and you will cut off the draft?

Its a business payment so yes its taxable

The real question is does your roof really actually need renewing? I suspect surveyors just see no felt and immediately recommend a new roof but so long as the rosemary roof is not actually leaking and therefore there are no rotten battens or joists etc I would leave it well alone and just keep...

Our incoming water main is in lead and continues in lead for about 4m in our cellar, as it bends around 2 curved corners and is hidden in an architrave it is too much hassle to bother replacing. It has been like that since before I was born and has not had any adverse affect on me or my 3 brothers.
