It's again a failing of all governments over the last 30 years, Instead of dealing with the work shy who take from the system they penalise those who work more and more taking whatever you've earned.

Unfortunately the above statement is also flawed as if you earn alot and have spent your working life avoiding paying your fair share of tax then you should pay your care home costs, I also feel the same about those who've taken large amounts in cash in hand to avoid paying their fair share.

I'm not doing it for the purpose of ensuring my daughters a millionaire, my partner and I have paid tax our whole working lives, the majority of it in the higher tax bracket while taking very little out of the system so why should we have to pay for a care home on top when others don't...

I'm not sure it just Rachel reeves that will chase it, I'm sure the Chancellor of any future governments will do the same. It is a concern but as it stands we plan on putting the house in trust as soon as the mortgage is done which should be when I'm 58 and unless current rules are changed I...

It's strange how no one has an issue with the other 5 work shy brits who take take take, just the immigrants. Immigrants give far more to this country and have for decades than they take but that doesn't help politicians get people up in arms or fleece tax payer money.

The wife and I are just in the process of sorting ours out as my new employers pay for it. It is a difficult subject and there's alot of stuff we hadn't even considered if we both died together or all 3 of us all died together so I'm glad we've got it sorted. The eye opener for us as we'd...

Pictures of outside the property will help. What is on the outside of the wall that will be behind the new kitchen? Alot of what you want to do isn't technically difficult, it's definitely diyable but the defining factors will be what's in the ground and whatever other limiting factors there...

Is the mcb that was tripped definitely the one for the boiler or is it maybe one that's off as that circuits no longer in use and the 3a fuse was just blown?

The pictures nothing to do with me just something I found showing similar to what she wants. What's wrong with that first step?

Hi all, The wife has decided we're having white oak spindles and balustrade on the stairs she's also decided she wants the bottom newel post set back a couple of steps like below, I've only ever done 1 balustrade in our old house and the newel post was at the the end so I drilled into the...

What's the room where they currently are going to be? I can't see the dno having an issue with them being left where they are, when you said internal the natural thought is somewhere further inside the house.

The titan will do it, to make it easier on the drill I'd start the core and once the core bit is about 15-20mm into the wall remove the core and use an sds masonry bit to stitch drill all the way round the groove the core has created then use the core drill again to finish the hole.

**** on the pipe to help it defrost quicker

You are over thinking things massively, everything used to have brushes and people managed fine. The important thing for you to decide is which brand your buying into so you can use the same batteries across everything so maybe check all the tools your thinking of are available from the same...

That's true but over time the fault may also show itself in another way, I'm with you Harry in fix the original issue but I can understand why people look for a solution to allow life to move on until they revisit things

Only other thought is do you have a manual way into the boot, if your isolator fails in the battery disconnected position how are you getting back in to remove it?

I'd give it a go, amazon's return policy is pretty good so if the cca killed it you'd likely still be able to return it, I'd also believe someone's real life experience over chat gpt. Having said all that I'd have to get to the bottom of the cause it would drive me mad otherwise.

If you genuinely feel competent to do then do it, if you don't have it signed off by a bco then that would only be an issue if you try to sell the property and it's upto you if your willing to accept the difficulty/loss in value. From a safety point of view the first thing to sort out is an...
