    HELP NEEDED! Are there any roofers out there that arent cowboys???

    I also had experience of a roofer who was probably a good roofer, but very busy, and poor at communication. After literally a year of being strung along that he was going to come and do the job, I found someone else. Roofers with a good work based, personally recommended reputation are unlikely...

    HELP NEEDED! Are there any roofers out there that arent cowboys???

    I've had a couple of repairs done by excellent roofers - both were recommended by people I knew who'd had work done by them.

    Ideas for protecting drain pipe from parking mishaps?

    I wonder what you can hang from that bracket? Hanging basket? Punchbag? Wind chimes? Church bell? Inflatable chicken? Something that is visible to the driver, and that a car can hit without doing damage

    Insulating under floorboards - I could try myself?

    London one of safest cities in the world

    It's curious isn't it - what the facts are, how we make sense of them or not, and how that relates to our particular cherished positions - I very much include myself in this. Here's a surprising piece from Fix the News - I'm sure someone will have the time to find the underlying research...

    High Gas Bills - Worchester Bosch and Tado

    You could try just heating the rooms you're in. We don't heat empty rooms, and we don't have heating on at night. We keep doors closed between rooms whenever possible. Even though the tank is well insulated, we only heat water shortly before we're going to use it. I think our condensing boiler...

    Can I snip these wires and embed in the wall?
