    The lawn does look better after i cut it, i have also put down some patches of turf. I am leaving my weeds as they are becase it will just make it look more bare.

    Lawn In Bad Shape - Moving Out Rented House - How Can I Fix?

    Thanks for your advice. I would not be surprised if the landlord has pics with a fake timestamp on them. He has a few properties so he knows what he is doing, when he came in the inspect the property last week he was very critical of everything and he obviously knows how to screw the tennant. I...

    Lawn In Bad Shape - Moving Out Rented House - How Can I Fix?

    Thanks for your reply. Ill just leave the weeds alone and any moss. Ill cut the grass today at the higher setting and get the autumn feed put on the grass. I will try and get a hold of a edging iron, i agree it makes a lawn much more appealing. Many thanks. ;)

    Lawn In Bad Shape - Moving Out Rented House - How Can I Fix?

    The tenancy agreement says to keep the gardens, pathways, lawns, hedges, rockeries and ponds (if any) regularly maintained and in good and safe condition and as neat tidy and properly tendered as they were at the start of the tenancy and not to remove any trees or plants.

    Lawn In Bad Shape - Moving Out Rented House - How Can I Fix?

    Thanks for your reply. There is no tools left for looking after the lawn but it will be sods law there will be something there to hold me responsible for the lawn, i have not had a look through the agreement yet. My deposit was just over £1100 and yes it is in one of those tenancy deposit...

    Lawn In Bad Shape - Moving Out Rented House - How Can I Fix?

    Lol that sounds worse . My landlord can just say its not like it was when i took out the lease, i can tell by his attitude he will screw me in any way he can. Im well aware it would improve itself with some feed and weed come the summer, but its now i need to worry about im afraid.

    Lawn In Bad Shape - Moving Out Rented House - How Can I Fix?

    Many thanks for your reply. Is it worth still putting down the lawn seed or will it have made no improvement in 1 month. I can easily get some autumn lawn feed, should i feed the ferrous sulphate as well as this?

    Lawn In Bad Shape - Moving Out Rented House - How Can I Fix?

    Thanks for your reply. Well i suppose it was in better condition when i moved in. I have not read through the lease to see if it says anything specific. I was going to give it a light cut at the highest setting, also clear out all the leaves. Maybe its not clear in the video but it is rife with...

    Lawn In Bad Shape - Moving Out Rented House - How Can I Fix?

    Hi Guys. Im going to be moving out my rented accomodation in 1 months time. My back lawn is in a poor state and the landlord is likely to ask for a re-turf or something extreme. We have had a few run ins so he is not going to do me any favours or be sympathetic. The spell of hot dry weather...

    MDF Sanding - Is It Possible - Fish Tank Stand Repair - Water Damage

    Thanks for your reply. It wont get this bad normally, usually these units should last a long time if kept dry, this was a display unit and it was not looked after. It would cost too much money to replace the panels and make it not worthwhile buying this bargain. So yes i will need to fix it how...

    Sorry for the delay in getting this done but i had other things to do, you know how it is. Anyway i got this bed built at last and im pleased to say it is very sturdy indeed and you really need to push hard to make the joint flex. I ended up with a little gap at the top but it was hard to avoid...

    good idea it will never fit up my staircase The oak is too expensive at nearly 100 quids inc vat and about 80 for Indigbo wood. Cripes that a lot for a couple of bits of wood.
